AIDS Ministry

Mission Statement
Our committed mission is to assist those in the African American and Hispanic community infected with or affected by the HIV/AIDS virus. The primary goal is to address the needs for HIV/AIDS prevention via education. With kindness, compassion, respect, and spirituality, we serve through outreach, provision of resources, and support other churches and organizations with like goals and objectives.

Ministry Purpose:
• To assist persons and their families infected with or affected by the HIV/AIDS virus.
• To educate the African American and Hispanic communities on the prevention of HIV/AIDS.
• To encourage leaders of the faith-based communities (all denominations) to participate in the reduction of AIDS by speaking out on the issue and establishing an AIDS ministry in their place of worship.
