Our statement of purpose



Seeds of Grace exists to provide educational opportunities and life-enriching skills for at risk children and impoverished families in High Ridge Estates, and to foster relationships among all people looking for a new, more grace-filled way to live. 

Seeds of Grace is a faith-based, non-profit neighborhood center which provides excellent educational programs at no financial cost to families to encourage the overall development of children in need. These programs focus on school readiness and academic success, life enrichment via mentoring relationships and new experiences. The outcomes will be (1.) children who grow up to be literate, emotionally and physically healthy, and productive members of society and (2.) volunteers who see the ways their lives are impoverished if they don't connect to the families in need next door.

We should probably mention that everything is a work in progress and subject to change. We believe this statement captures the heart of what we are planning, but we may still end up making some adjustments as we become more aware of the needs of the neighborhood and how our talents and passions best intersect with those needs.
