Vanguard Ministries seeks to connect the broken people of inner city neighborhoods with area agencies and ministries through an aggressive program of street ministry in an effort to restore them to wholeness in spirit, soul and body.

How will we do this?

1. Searching for the broken through a strategic approach to street ministry.

  • Know the neighborhood-work every street and at different times.
  • Find "hot spots" and place ministers there at the same time and same place.
  • Develop a relationship based on trust, respect and unconditional love.


  • 2. Connecting the broken with a mentor who can connect them with the appropriate area ministry or agency.

  • Partner with area churches to provide spiritual support, mentors & small group leaders.
  • Partners with area agencies in order to meet physical and emotional needs.
  • Partner with businesses to provide jobs and job training.


  • 3. Walking with the broken until they are fully restored.

  • Ensure they continue to seek help to prevent backsliding.
  • Invest them into a church community and their own community. (2 Tim 2:2)
