Our youth programs are designed to offset the effects of poverty by helping them develop a strong sense of self, expanding their world view, and assist them in making choices that will allow them to take care of themselves and one other person. We also impact our community through our coat campaign that is ran every year to ensure the children and families in our community have cold weather gear.
Mitigating the influences of poverty is the mission of Beech Creek Ministries. One way of addressing this challenge has been the focus on the youth in the community. Children who are considered "at risk" seem to have one thing in common: poverty and its effects. These children are more likely to drop out of school, and/or have a negative encounter with the justice system. All of which increases the likelihood of perpetuating the effects of poverty in their communities and their families.
Beech Creek Ministries remains committed to provide high quality services to the community to address and eliminate these conditions through our collaborative partnerships, and innovative programs.
