Overview
In addition to meeting the needs of the unhoused and trafficked, the New Orleans Ministry Center works to strengthen communities alongside Baptist Community Health Services, a faith-based health clinic initiated by the local Baptist association, operating in some of the most vulnerable areas of New Orleans. The center also focuses on protecting children and families alongside Crossroads, a ministry initiated by First Baptist New Orleans that recruits and trains foster families, provides trauma-competent care training and connects children in crisis with supportive individuals. Additionally, the center maintains strong relationships with local churches and Send Network church plants, enabling its teams to assist with community events and outreach in collaboration with these churches.
