Restoring HOPE in Our Neighborhoods

As we continue to press into the heartache and ruin of the Blues, we'll find and celebrate the Hope, which is that God's work continues to "restore the places long devastated." (Isaiah 61:4) Despite the troubles we experience, we are not alone in our fight.

At Lake Forest, we are building four strategic partnerships with community organizations that are working to restore lives in the greater Charlotte region: The Ada Jenkins Center, Urban Ministry Center, Love INC and the Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte. Learn more about these partnerships - and how you can get involved - every Sunday in the lobby during Hope in a House of Blues. Or you can email Director of Mission Michael Flake at mflake@lakeforest.org.

We are also honored to showcase artwork on our fireplace that was created by clients of The Urban Ministry Center's Art Works 945, a one of a kind gallery workshop for the homeless. These pieces are for sale and proceeds go directly to the artists. To learn more about this awesome program, visit Art Works 945.
