    Southside Ministry at Vigilant Hope focuses on long-term commitment to our neighborhood.  We are listening to the communities' hopes and values with a holistic approach, bringing about reconciliation, redistribution, connection, and connection. As we are listening to our community, our current needs and ways we serve are changing to love and serve our community in ways needed most.

True prosperity is care for one another through proximity and presence, resulting in safety, health, vocation, longevity, strong family structures, and the presence of God dwelling with us. The only way this true prosperity can be achieved is through partnership. "
