Welcome To Neighborhood Ministries
Founded in 1982, Neighborhood Ministries is a hub of community activity where the basic necessities of life are joyfully met, including providing a safe place for youth to engage in sports, activities, and the arts. Whole generations of families have forever been changed by being shown a way out of the cycle of poverty that grips most urban communities.
Our Mission:
To be the presence of Jesus Christ, sharing his life-transforming hope, love, and power among distressed families of urban Phoenix to ignite their passion for God and His Kingdom.
The results have been nothing short of miraculous and a testimony of the power of Jesus Christ to transform people using the faithful passion and work of Founder and President Kit Danley and scores of faithful employees and volunteers making daily differences.

A Faithful Welcome
Nueva Esperanza welcome center capital campaign
Our Fundraising Goal Is To Raise $804,943
The new building, which will replace the former metal shed building, will serve as a safe and welcoming space for children who arrive and are placed in our care. This space will be the hub where all services run for them. Foster parents will drop off and pick up the children for a little rest throughout the week. The kids in our care will be immersed in a school which fosters curiosity and wonder. This will be the first school they have ever attended for many of them. They will also receive clinical services like counseling/play therapy and meet with their case manager, who will walk them through the process of being placed with their sponsor here in the United States.
