Faithful Fools Street Ministry Mission Statement

We are called to a ministry of presence that acknowledges each human’s incredible worth.

Aware of our judgments, we seek to meet people where they are through the arts, education, advocacy and accompaniment.

We participate in shattering myths about those living in poverty, seeing the light, courage, intelligence, strength and creativity of the people we encounter.

We discover on the streets our common humanity, through which celebration, community, and healing occur.
