Mission - Firm Foundation of PA
is a grassroots Christian Community Development Corporation with
501(c)(3) nonprofit status whose mission is to foster
revitalization within the lives and environments of the Capital
Region through economic empowerment, restorative justice
initiatives, housing improvement, educational enrichments, and
community advocacy.
Christian Community Development
-
Firm
Foundation strives to institute a holistic approach to
Christian Community Development. We value Church-based
ministry, evangelism and social action as equally important
partners, incarnational grass-roots movements, and the pursuit
of justice and peace (shalom).
Learning Organization
-
Firm
Foundation strives to be a Learning Organization which builds
upon the core disciplines of Systemic Action/Thought, Personal
Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision, and Team Learning. We
attempt to systemically analyze community dynamics and steer
away from unintended negative consequences.
Asset-Based
-
We strive
to utilize an asset-based approach that leverages the
community’s capacity rather than continuously highlighting the
community’s “needs” and “deficits.”
Collaborative Capacity
Building -
As called
upon by the faith-based community, Firm Foundation will serve as
an intermediary for collaborative faith-based community
development efforts, building capacity and serving as a conduit
for funding.
