Mission Statement
We are a listening ministry for individuals or families in crisis, trying to make ends meet to sustain their home. We typically help a family of 3 making less than $43,920 or a family of four making less than $53,000/yr.; plus transient homeless. We regularly provide emergency food boxes, clothing, plus household and furniture assistance in collaboration with our Donation Ministry. We provide emergency financial assistance to help stop evictions (rental assistance) and help with utility cut-offs for electric, water, gas; including heating assistance for fuel oil, propane, etc. and cooling assistance with fans and air conditioners.
Description
The Christian Ministry is a family of Christian congregations organized to provide individuals an opportunity to grow, mature and express their faith through fellowship and service for the joy set before us in Christ.
The Christian Ministry will stimulate doing together what individual congregations cannot do separately, in an ecumenical spirit.
We are committed to Christ to translate our faith into cooperative action which ministers to the spiritual, social, physical, economic and emotional needs of our neighbors in Buncombe County.
Through Christ, our pioneer and perfector, we persevere to restore and/or maintain the dignity of every person, bring reconciliation to hostilities, bring new skills, strategies, and hope to the thwarted/disadvantaged lives; share our common victories of life.
