Through the generous spirit of our membership and the diligent and
prayerful work of our Outreach Committee, Woodmont Christian Church
provides significant gifts and grants to a host of local, regional and global
organizations whose goals and efforts align with our mission of Seeking
God, Sharing Love and Serving Others. Beginning with this issue of The
Spire and continuing through June 2015 this column will highlight these
partner organizations by sharing brief overviews of their missions. Several
organizations will be included in each issue. (Since WCCs Outreach grants are awarded on a quarterly basis
this column will identify those organizations funded between July 2013 and June 2014).
Better Decisions - Our mission is to teach and foster decision-making and life-planning skills among women
who are incarcerated, and others expressing interest, by means of a structured curriculum delivered by trained
volunteers. The ultimate goal is to reduce recidivism among female offenders and to break the intergenerational
cycle of crime by teaching women (most of whom are mothers) how to gain more control over their lives by setting
goals, deciding rather than reacting, and making and sticking to concrete plans for changing their attitudes and
behaviors.
Disciples Divinity House - We are called to prepare excellent Disciple ministers through our supportive community
of faith.
Faith Family Medical Clinic - Seeks to follow the commitment of people of faith to provide hope and medical care
for the working uninsured by meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
