Empowering Educators Through Restorative Support and Services

Educators face many challenges inside and outside of the classroom. The Ministerial and Educational Resource Center's home space will serve as a gathering center to empower teachers when they need additional support. We will help educators restore balance in their lives through community-building and provision of resources. We will offer creative arts, as well as holistic wellness resources.

A Unique Outlook

Monthly Bible study sessions will be offered on site and virtually. “Home Group” Bible study sessions, popularized by the ministry of the late Dr. J. Vernon McGee, are an invaluable tool to help increase "spiritual stamina" through stressful times.

Bible-based resource materials by renowned leaders such as Dr. Tony Evans, Dr. Charles Swindoll, Alistair Begg, and many other favorites will be readily accessible in our well stocked home library for reference and discussion.

A Unique Challenge

Much has been documented concerning the unique challenges facing African American boys in our schools. Read More

It is the goal of the Ministerial and Educational Resource Center to attract visionaries to the roundtable who are expressly interested in improving educational and social outcomes for African American boys. The goal is to bring together individuals from the educational, sports, religious, and judicial systems, as well as young men themselves, to explore educational models tailored to the complex needs of the African American male and to stimulate and motivate higher academic and social success.

"It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men."

The New Music Project

One of the key programs in this center will be The New Music Project, which will promote the revitalization of old hymns –maintaining the sound doctrinal texts, while making the music more appealing to this generation’s ears.

Additionally, our affiliate advisers and partner churches will premier the newly created musical works to the broader community. With such a vibrant music and fine arts community right in our immediate vicinity, excitement surrounding such a project will surely abound.

"Make melody in your heart to the Lord."
Ephesians 5:19

Garden of Remembrance

A beautiful Garden of Remembrance will honor teachers whose lives were lost while actively serving in their roles as educators – a very important recognition that is long overdue in this nation. The sacrifices and dedication of so many teachers should never be forgotten.

"No one has greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
John 15:13

Relax and Rejuvenate

The Ministerial and Educational Resource Center will also serve as a getaway within the city. Guests of The Center will be able to relax with a book beside one of the historic home’s four fireplaces, meditate outdoors in the beautiful Garden of Remembrance, or gather with new friends or coworkers around the dining roundtable for good food and discussion.
