Good Works Ministries

About Us: "Good Works Ministries is a Faith based, non-profit organization that was formed for two purposes.
Our primary ministry is to help kids that are aging out of the foster care program and to establish a more effective means of serving these young adults by providing a one stop process for the various services that are available or are needed by them. We are working to develop a comprehensive approach to reaching out to these young adults and other at-risk-youth. By partnering with various organizations and local community groups we can create a single entry point that will function as a link in the chain for these young adults. This will provide a way for them to access educational and social services, a computer lab, local workforce partnerships, and financial assistance for additional support or housing. Housing is a key need for these young adults. We are focused on acquiring housing for them and offering the various transition services in house for those individuals that are interested in participating in our program.

In addition to our primary ministry we feel it is important to provide a community service ministry that teaches Christian principles while giving and serving others. This portion of Good Works Ministries will incorporate young adults who want to serve and learn new skills into a program working with community volunteers to do restoration and repair projects for low income families, the elderly, single parents, or others ministries that are in need of help. Our leaders in this ministry have many years of experience in custom renovation and a desire to help others while teaching young adults new skills. If you are an organization in need of experienced volunteers please contact Pat Howe.
