A Christmas Message from Our Executive Director

Dear City Ministries Family,

As we come to the close of 2025, step into this holiday season, and look forward to another new year and fresh start, my heart is full of gratitude for you.

Because of your prayers, generosity, and partnership, City Ministries continues to serve – through foster care, safe and supportive housing, and Christ-centered early education. Every day, your support helps children, youth, and families experience the love of Jesus in very practical ways.

This year, we have seen:

  • Children in foster care welcomed into safe, nurturing homes and surrounded by a community that believes in them.
  • Young learners growing, laughing, and discovering God’s world through excellent, faith-filled education.
  • Development of new partnerships with local churches and nonprofits.

As we reflect on the gift of Jesus – our Emmanuel, “God with us” – we are reminded that His light shines brightest in dark and uncertain times. Thank you for being carriers of that light through your partnership with City Ministries.

As you consider your year-end giving, we invite you to prayerfully continue standing with us. A special year-end gift will help us:

  • Strengthening support for foster families and the children in their care
  • Expand wrap-around services for children in care

Every gift – large or small – makes a real and immediate difference. Help decorate our Giving Christmas tree and reach our goal of $25,000. 

Please use this link to make a gift today.

On behalf of our staff, board, and the many lives touched by this ministry, thank you for walking with us this year. We could not do this without you.

With deep gratitude and warm Christmas blessings,

Dr. Cheryl
Executive Director | City Ministries
