We have to, as leaders, be willing to be led… that’s what the Center is about. It’s about bringing us out of our traditional selves and just being who we are. My title says ‘Pastor Leatha Roberts,’ but I’m just Leatha Roberts, and at the end of the day, yes Jesus is the center of my life, but I have problems. We all do. We give so much that we forget we also have to be nourished— that’s why this place is here.”

From Family Futures Pathways, we know that participants collectively reduced their debt by about 5%. Regarding the savings, families who have a fixed income have been able to save about 12% on average; for those families who do not have a fixed income, they were able to pay their utilities on time and that reduced their financial burdens”

Seeing our local churches step in with open hands and open hearts made all the difference. Their support brought new life to our events and reminded us what’s possible when faith and community work together. I truly hope this partnership continues to grow— our neighborhoods are stronger because of it.”
