MINISTRY APPROACH
God CaresMetropolitan Church Tackling
Urban Issues
The God Cares Thrift Centers are a driving force behind The Urban
Initiative. It serves dual roles. First, it’s a model for doing business
inside the urban community and a template for economic
progressiveness. The God Cares model is unique, since all revenues
generated from the Thrift Center are recycled back into the community
it serves. The Thrift Center also serves as a resource for participants
offering inexpensive quality clothing. For example, at the completion
of the job training battery, participants are issued a voucher to be
used toward the purchase of clothing suitable for job interviews. Some
graduates may even attain employment at the Thrift Center.
BLUE PRINT
BLUE PRINT cont.
The God Cares blueprint is a comprehensive approach to fostering growth in
urban communities. It is designed to equip individuals socially, economically, and
spiritually. Having done this work for a number of years, we’ve found that
participant’s success depends greatly upon financial sustainability.
Therefore, we work aggressively to prepare our participants to be competitive in
the workforce. We accomplish this through career skills training, in which
participants learn how to complete job applications, write resumes, conduct
effective job interviews, negotiate and accept job offers, and achieve long term
success in theirs careers.
Equipping From Every Angle
A State of the Economy and Employment Survey from
Adecco Staffing indicated that 44% of employers cited soft
skills, such as communication, critical thinking, creativity
and collaboration, as the areas with the largest gap in
workforce skills. We place a heavy emphasis on these
skills throughout our training. In addition, our life skill
workshops teach a variety of key life skill components
