Ministry
Your team will partner with the Springfield Dream Center and make a direct impact on families in poverty by providing practical help and life-giving hope through service and giving.
Focusing on families in Zone 1, the geographical area in Springfield shown to have the highest poverty, addiction, and abuse rates, we make a direct impact by providing resources and life skills. These resources and long-term skills provide families traction towards spiritual, mental, and physical stability. With stability, families see impossible dreams are now an achievable reality.
The Springfield Dream Center is the perfect place to learn more about the needs of our community and supply help for today and hope for tomorrow to those who need it.
