Empower Campus Tenants
“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord is served…Now to each one the presence of the Spirit is given for the common good.” - I Corinthians 12:4-7
Creating a “one-stop ministry mall” requires building partnerships with ministries providing a broad spectrum of services to a diverse community of people. By providing lease rates well below the market and allowing ministry leaders to focus on what they do best, we believe the Empower Campus will improve the services provided throughout our community.
The Community Outreach
The Community Outreach provides services to those in poverty through support with housing, utilities and transportation. The 18-week Genesis program matches a mentor group with an at-risk family to assist in housing, employment, transportation and personal goals.
Boys and Girls Club
We provide developmentally appropriate programs for children that enable each child to grow and learn at their own pace. Each child is given the opportunity for individual development and exploration through an environment that is creative, stimulating and nurturing. The only area agency serving children 4 weeks of age to age 18, BGCSE works to prepare children for the future seemlessly allowing them to move through the organizations programming from infancy to high school graduation.
