Mission

Metro Ministries is a Christian organization dedicated to serving inner city children throughout the five boroughs of New York City and in various urban centers around the world. The organization was established in 1980 and has been serving low-income, inner city children and their families ever since. Our mission is to find and rescue inner city children in urban environments often plagued by poverty, violence, drugs, crime, and hopelessness. We offer programs designed to prevent children who are growing up in unfavorable settings from becoming mere products of their environments. We seek to bring hope to urban children through faith based and character education while addressing issues such as hunger, AIDS awareness, and child abuse.
