Covenant Life Church has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Kids Hope USA program since 1998. We are partnered with Mary A White Elementary where mentors from our congregation meet individually with a child for one hour each week. Kids Hope was founded in 1995 by Virgil Gulker in Holland, MI. He asked a very important question:
How can churches have the greatest impact on America’s at-risk children?
His answer was one on one relationships with caring adults. The impact of a caring, reliable relationship can make in a student’s life can scarcely be measured, but each year we see dramatic improvement in the academic growth, social development and emotional development of the students in the Kids Hope program. The joy on a child’s face when someone shows up just for them can’t be accurately described. You’ll have to find out for yourself. Do you have one hour a week in
your schedule to make a lasting impact in a child’s life? Talk to Julie Folkert and find out how you can get involved. Click button below to learn more.
