The Local
CHURCH
Together we can help our neighbors transform from hopelessness to hope, from dependence to self-sufficiency, and a promise for their futures. Opportunities abound for lives to be rewritten.
The Opportunity
We believe God intended for us to be in a relationship with Him and each other.
Those who have been called, cannot lead someone where they are not willing to go.
Step out in faith and establish a Christ-centered relational outreach program that loves people, bears eternal fruit and helps break the cycle of poverty.
We serve 8 counties that are considered a drought resourced region.
It is vital that we the Church are united and equipped to be the answer to poverty alleviation.
Church Partnerships
A community united and equipped …
HCDBM is dedicated to helping establish, train, and support local churches in their efforts to reach and help those living in crisis and need. Our core mission is to help establish effective, sustainable, Christ-centered, and relationship-driven mentoring ministries that equip individuals, allow our service to transform us, and help people to overcome poverty and crisis .
Churches have the opportunity to partner with us at all different levels that suit them best! Partner churches can utilize the HCDBM campus Volunteer Program for service days, groups, children’s “mission trips,” and overall faith-building and participate in seasonal drives and events in collaboration with HCDBM. They can join our Community Resource Program to receive selective resources through our food bank to help offset costs and stretch their budgets. Or, become a Mentoring Church Partner through our Family Mentor Resource Program.
We are excited to offer several levels of partnership:
*Church partners can be at one or more level of partnership.
