Future Outreach Vision
Community Restoration & Youth Development Vision
Little Jerusalem A.F.M. Church of God is prayerfully developing a community outreach vision focused on supporting at-risk young adults through service, mentorship, and skill development.
Our desire is to create opportunities for young adults to participate in church and community repair projects, including assisting with building restoration, cleanup, and neighborhood support efforts. Through this initiative, participants would gain hands-on experience, work readiness skills, and positive structure while serving their community.
