Our Story

Throughout COVID, we watched frontline-Christian ministries extend their hours and stretch their staff to meet their many additional demands. We saw a true need to increase resources for smaller ministries and non-profits serving the local African American Community. For years, we have seen the strength of neighborhood networks surrounding African American churches. Many have stepped in to establish and help smaller ministries, yet these ministries remain significantly underfunded. We believe that the Sharing God’s Goodness Giving Circle can make a significant difference in the lives of those served and those in service. Join us as we extend God’s love and generosity throughout our community. We will make an impact together.
