About Radical Mission

Mission

Embracing our Community through Compassion

Vision - Meeting our neighbors where they are

Radical Mission seeks to develop genuine relationships in our community that are rooted in the love of God.

Sharing In Brokenness Through Friendship

We desire that these relationships will allow us to discover and address the root causes of poverty, injustice, and broken relationships in our community.

Empowering Through Dignity And Community

We are committed through living compassionately to bring relief, development, and social transformation into the relationships that we foster.

Radical Mission works to train and mobilize the community into life changing relationships of compassion resulting in the development of community based strategies providing holistic empowerment in the lives of our low income and no income neighbors.

Radical Misson also shares CCDA (Christian Community Development Association) values: Reconciliation, Redistribution, Relocation.
