Initiatives

A collective of faith and civic leaders and vibrant community volunteers who have joined together to respond in the midst of crisis. We mobilize the local church and coordinate these efforts through the following activities:

Nehemiah mobilizes church volunteers, as well as local government and social services agencies during times of extreme weather to provide warmth and shelter for our unsheltered friends.

A collaborative effort between Nehemiah, Central Christian Church and community volunteers to serve the unsheltered wherever they may be found.

Our schools carry a tremendous burden of trying to meet academic needs in addition to all the social, emotional and physical needs of their students. Nehemiah’s Streamline Initiative is a response to the need for “streamlined processes” to help schools access the resources that churches can provide. It provides a bridge between the needs of public schools and the resources of the Christian community. By helping churches and ministries build meaningful relationships with their local public schools, kids will be blessed and schools will be strengthened.

• Facilitating united and continual prayer for each public school in Clark County.
• Mobilizing local churches to encircle their neighborhood school with support and encouragement.
• Connecting vulnerable students that have a need with local churches in the neighborhood who can meet that need, utilizing the CarePortal technology platform.
• Matching kids with equipped and caring mentors that will build life-changing one-on-one relationships.
• Equipping churches and ministries to provide out-of-school-time programs and enrichment to help kids grow academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

CarePortal is a critical component of the Streamline Initiative. It is an online platform connecting the needs of those within the community to people who care. Church and local community members within the CarePortal network have the opportunity to respond to those who are struggling or vulnerable in our community.

Healthy leaders are essential to a strong community, especially in the midst of transformative change. Today’s Christian and civic leaders are under more pressure and scrutiny than ever before. Through this initiative, Nehemiah is building a safe place where leaders can learn, share, innovate and be supported in impactful ways.

“From the inception of this organization, this desire to invest in Christian leaders has been part of the DNA.”
– Amy Willmann, Nehemiah Foundation Executive Director
