About Us
OUR MISSION
Bringing hope and restoration to children, youth, and families in the Phillips neighborhood, Minneapolis.
We serve children, youth, and families through faith-centered, relational ministry, meeting real needs while building relationships and pointing people to hope in Christ.
Everything we do flows from one conviction:
Every person matters to God.
OUR VISION
Providing mentoring relationships through programming that meets the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children, youth, and families.
WHY PHILLIPS
We are planted in the heart of the Phillips neighborhood, one of the most diverse and dynamic communities in Minneapolis.
For more than seven decades, we have remained on Franklin Avenue as a consistent presence of care, truth, and hope.
Phillips is a neighborhood with real needs, and it is full of children and young people worth investing in. About one-third of the neighborhood is under 18, giving us an incredible opportunity to reach the next generation.
We want to see Phillips become a place where children, youth, and families can walk safely, where kids can play and learn, where families can enjoy time together, and where people know they belong. As Phillips continues to grow and change, our commitment remains the same:
to be a faithful, gospel-centered presence in the neighborhood we call home.
NOT JUST FOR TODAY
We meet immediate needs, but our vision goes further. A meal, practical help, and a safe place to spend the afternoon matter. So does having an adult who knows your name, listens, teaches you the Bible, challenges you, and keeps showing up.
That is why we believe ministry takes time. We want to see children grow into young people who know Christ, have character, know how to work, and have people who will continue to walk with them.
We are investing in a new generation through long-term ministry.
