Overview

Mission

By building collaborative, interdependent relationships with our neighbors in need, south street ministry is committed to advancing individual and community wholeness through stability, dignity and empowerment.

What it reported doing in 2018

Whenever children may be out of school, we try to provide a place for them to play, to learn, and to continue to grow spiritually. Through our kids day away events, winter festivities, spring break activities, and summer camps, we offer opportunities for children from kindergarten through fifth grade to experience a welcoming, structured, organized, and extremely fun experience with us. In addition to events for children, we offer fun activities for the entire family such as our back to school block party at the end of summer and our three kings day celebration at the beginning of the new year. South street ministry provides multiple camps throughout the summer to provide a safe, educational, and fun-filled summer for our community. Each camp has an educational theme to increase summer activity and bridge the summer time learning gap. Mentoring for academic progress (m.a.p) serves children from neighboring lake como and hillcrest elementary schools. Map's staff and volunteer mentors work with the children on homework and additional academic assignments monday through thursdays, with fridays offering art, music, drama and dance, chess and other activities as a reward for working hard during the week. Map provides bus transportation from school to south street ministry, where the students enjoy a snack, recreational time, homework assistance, and additional academic work geared specifically to each student. South street ministry is committed to partnering with our community to alleviate poverty in the surrounding area. Through asset-based community development, we are learning the assets of the community and empowering leadership and change from within the community. We are utilizing the aha! Process curriculum, getting ahead in a just getting by world, to address the challenges of poverty in our community. We are partnering with jobs partnership Florida to increase employment rates and job retention in our community. "the centerpiece of the jobs partnership of Florida is life & work, a 12-week employability training program that equips those who are stalled in their life or job, or both, with decision-making skills that will help them move forward." worship is our response to what god has done, is doing, and will do in our lives individually and as a community. Our casual worship experience is focused on building relationships with god and one another, as everyone from children to grown adults sits, eats, sings, and prays together. We work hard to create a comfortable and welcoming environment to everyone from the community. Small groups at south street are designed to take us into a deeper relationship with god, self, and others. These groups are designed to bridge gaps across all lines as we fully embrace our identity as children of god.
