Our
Mission
Faith Beyond Walls is an interfaith-based
nonprofit organization that mobilizes volunteers
and resources to improve the quality of life in
our neighborhoods.
Our Vision
Our vision is both external
and internal. Externally, FBW envisions:
- St.
Louis as one of America's leading cities where
faith communities get together to get things
done;
- Families,
neighborhoods and the greater community having
improved health, housing and well-being;
- Interfaith
partnerships reducing racism, poverty and violence
in St. Louis by working together towards common
goals;
- More faith-based
institutions participating in sustainable community
outreach and neighborhood revitalization projects.
To accomplish this vision, internally:
- We
envision being the best investment of any donor,
volunteer or foundation;
- We envision
an executive director and staff that is totally
committed and energized;
- We envision
a board of directors that is the best, brightest
and most prayerful.
Our Values
- We
value working with others in a way that appreciates
their perspectives and experience.
- We value our
collaboration to the extent that we will not
duplicate other programs and we will share resources
to increase financial leveraging.
- We value listening
and deep understanding.
- We value our
respective faiths and the faiths of our partnering
faith-based institutions.
- We value sustainability.
There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through sharing together, praying together, suffering together and working together. — Mother Theresa |
