Core Goals
To integrate social, health,
youth and group programs to provide holistic services. To support neighbors
through home visits. To break down barriers created by poverty, isolation, fear
and prejudice. To recognize and promote the dignity of each person in the
community. To be hopeful and witness God's love for all people.
Midtown is an unique place—
»
where everyone is welcome
and everyone belongs » where services and support come together »
where families and
children come first » where the community gathers for sharing, work, to pray
& play.
