Servant Life partners with a local ministry in Milwaukee that has endeavored to capture God's heart for Milwaukee by restoring hope, enhancing the quality of life, strengthening families, and advancing justice for all generations. Through dedicated programming, compassionate healthcare services, and a robust network of city and church partnerships, their team is committed to transformation, hope, and justice in their neighborhood, city, and beyond.

 

Our partner is working to break the cycle of generational poverty in Milwaukee through:

  • Healthcare and Social Services - Offering compassionate services to meet the medical, nutritional, social, and spiritual needs of the whole person, including uninsured and medically underserved residents of the central city.

  • Youth and Family Programming - Providing youth ages 6-18 with the emotional, social, and academic support; life skills; resources; and mentoring they need to envision and believe in the future God designed them for.

  • Spiritual Formation and Growth - Providing an opportunity to experience Christ's love firsthand as a catalyst for spiritual awakening, growth, and practical applications of faith for the greater good.

  • Poverty and Justice Training - Hosting Christ-centered, thought-provoking training events, mission trips, and workshops that can supercharge your group's commitment to living a life of purpose, rooted in compassion for others.
