About Us

OUR STRATEGY

Welcome to Mission TN, where we are dedicated to serving and empowering individuals and communities in need throughout our great state. Our volunteer opportunities are the perfect way to help make a difference and bring about positive change through acts of compassion. We accomplish the mission through three strategic focal areas:

Strategic Bridge Development

To develop strategic bridges that connect individuals and organizations at their points of common unity;
To produce a pathway for families to achieve economic and spiritual transformation;
To provide a roadway across the obstacles resulting from generational poverty.

Effective Partnership Development

To develop effective partnerships that produce a specific by-product beyond an event.

To develop effective partnerships that lead to the restoration of relationships at every level of human interaction.

To develop effective partnerships that allow each partner to accomplish their core reason for partnering (win-win).

Community Transformation

To develop and implement community strategies that lead to the holistic transformation of individuals.

PARTNERS IN TRANSFORMATION

To Our Partners:

We commit to assisting you in building bridges that fulfill your goal of engaging impoverished individuals and families

in a manner that helps them achieve holistic transformation. What this means is that we aren't just focused on one aspect

of well-being; we take a comprehensive approach that considers the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of life.

Spiritual: Our collaboration aims to uplift individuals spiritually, instilling hope, faith, and a sense of purpose. Whether it's through faith-based initiatives or communal gatherings, we support projects that nurture the soul.
Emotional/Soul: We understand that mental well-being is crucial for long-term success. Together with our partners, we work on developing programs such as mentorship, emotional intelligence workshops, and support groups that cater to the emotional needs of the community.
Physical/Body: Tangible needs like food, shelter, and healthcare are foundational to human existence. We commit to partnering with you in initiatives that address these basic needs, all with the aim of uplifting individuals to a state of self-sufficiency.

Through our partnership, we aim for a win-win scenario: enabling you to fulfill your organizational goals

while collectively making a more significant impact.

To Individuals and Families:

We commit to being a partner in a transformation that provides the hope of God’s love and the opportunity

to realize self-sufficiency within the context of the community. Our commitment is two-fold:

Spiritual Nourishment: Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to instill the hope and love that comes from a spiritual connection. We welcome people from all walks of life to partake in activities that uplift the spirit.

Self-Sufficiency and Community: We believe that true transformation comes when individuals can stand on their own two feet, not just as isolated beings but as active, contributing members of a community. Through our skill development programs, educational opportunities, and support systems, we provide the necessary tools for individuals and families to achieve this level of independence.

By focusing on both the spiritual and material aspects of life, we create an environment where individuals and families don’t just survive; they thrive. And they do so in a community that cares, supports, and uplifts each of its members.

Together WE can make a difference for real change!

We believe in the power of collective action. When each of us brings our resources, skills, and compassion to the table,

the impact is magnified. We invite you to join us in this fulfilling journey of transformation and community betterment.
