USA - Elgin (Urban Team)OUR FOCUS
|
OUR MISSION
The Elgin Urban Team exists to help the urban poor of the Elgin area to be introduced to God and to be disciples into local churches.
THE TEAM
Though there is only one full time worker there are many multi-ethnic, local volunteers who enable the ministry to function.
OUR MINISTRY
At this time there is the Homeless Breakfast which runs ever week day from seven to eight AM. Another part of the ministry is leading Bible Studies on a regular basis at Wayside Center (a day room for the homeless). Court advocacy is another part of the ministry. From time to time we go to court and work to get candidates into a rehab program.

A building that would house the homeless. This place would be available as an over night shelter, a soup kitchen, a rehab center and a transitional housing (for those after rehab). There are organizations that at this time provide some or all of these services but do not necessarily have a Christ center focus. |
