Ministry Description
Community transformation begins with the godly transformation of individuals and families. Tutors at the Taylor Community Center are crucial for students whose parents cannot help them due to a language barrier. We seek to help children understand that they are made in God's image and that He is their true source of help and wisdom. As you tutor academic subjects in this environment you will also be discipling children, and thus transforming families and the community.
