Gospel-Centered Restoration
Transforming and empowering the south side

We’re passionate about finding creative solutions to the challenges marginalized communities face. We lean in to the messy and broken with tangible hope for individuals, families, and communities to flourish through the gospel of Jesus Christ. In doing so, we want our neighbors to experience the love of Christ in both word and deed.

Join an Unstoppable Community of Monthly Givers
Our community of monthly givers is known as The 100Fold because, like Jesus tells his disciples in Mark 10, we believe that when people live lives of generosity and sacrifice the blessings returned to them will be one hundred fold.
The 100Fold is a group of people who are passionate, courageous and committed to seeing the South Side be restored through a gospel lens. You belong here.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Overlooked and Broken
The Reality on the South Side

Historically, the South Side has been plagued as being seen as “the wrong side of the tracks.” Over time, residents have moved out of the community for more desirable neighborhoods and places for business in the city. This has left the South Side with low homeownership, inadequate yet expensive housing options, few opportunities for employment, and overrun schools, further exasperating poverty in our neighborhood.
