Value Statement Urban Opportunities for Change Foundation, Inc.

We believe in a holistic view of Christianity, which requires accountability in all areas of our lives.  We are challenged in societies context by the oppression of poverty, which suppresses the basic tenets of life, including “promoting the general welfare,” which is inclusive of health and education.  In addition, we believe poverty limits the capabilities of individuals to explore the gifts God has given them and limits the use of those gifts to contribute to society, in the way they were meant to contribute.

With the knowledge that poverty degrades “Man” spiritually, emotionally and physically, our decisions and the resources of this organization are dedicated to the goal of alleviating it.
