About Us
Our Pillars
Linking
The Clearinghouse serves as a hub of information and referral services. We respond to immediate and short-term needs by linking individuals to area churches and agencies that can help.
Equipping
Churches and other organizations are developing ministries and performing more and more outreach into their communities; therefore, Good Samaritan Ministries is partnering with and equipping by offering them ministry opportunities, training, and congregational coaching. We also continue to pursue grants that increase capacity and programming
Building
Neighborhood Connections is a community development initiative that strengthens neighborhoods through relationship building and the collaborative efforts of neighbors, churches, businesses, associations, schools, and government.
Impacting
Good Samaritan's Affiliated Programs work with local churches, government agencies and service organizations to address targeted needs in the community.
