Neighbors Helping Neighbors The CSC is a nonprofit volunteer organization helping to prevent homelessness and solve financial problems. Mission Our goal is to guide participants towards long term financial stability. There is no one-size-fits-all program. A CSC team walks beside participants to identify goals and create a path to achieve them. How we work
Did you know that the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in New Brighton is $1983? Funding for the CSC comes from churches, civic organizations, and individuals like you. Christ the King was one of the founding churches and we have two member on the Board. WALK A MILE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR IS JULY 28, 9 A.M. – 1 P.M. AT SILVER VIEW PARK IN MOUNDS VIEW. CtK members are encouraged to walk together following worship that morning. BONUS BLOG: A Community Support Center Story - Support During Unforeseeable Crisis
One of our long-term participants was working hard to pay off his family’s debt. At every appointment with us he would report his progress and we would troubleshoot problems with him when they came up. One day an uncontrollable crisis happened. His catalytic converter was stolen off his vehicle overnight outside his apartment; and it happened right when his rent was due! He called his CSC team and explained the situation. CSC paid his rent so he could pay to have his car repaired. He is now back on track paying off his debts and is building up an emergency fund for future crises.

At many cottage meetings I attended, parents voiced their concern and curiosity on how faith was forming in their children. Parents wondered what the real impact of faith formation is on how their children are growing, exploring and leading full and busy lives. How do we parent today? How can our elders who have already been through this help us? What is this overwhelming growth of anxiety and depression in children and teens? I am no therapist, but as a pastor and parent and in my work with therapists, with 20-some years of work with young adults who have helicopter parents, I have come to know something called SPACE: supportive parenting for anxious childhood emotions. With SPACE, parents are the ones doing the changing, not the kid (it’s not about blaming social media, or blaming cell phones for the rise in anxiety and depression). Two main changes that parents learn to make is to 1) respond more supportively to their child and to 2) reduce the accommodations they as parents have been making. You can learn more about it in this article… I encourage you to read it! |
