Heart 2 Heart
Our Mission is to impress upon the minds of young girls that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. To instill in them the importance of having a personal and sincere relationship with the Lord.
OUR GOALS
-
To encourage education and the importance of knowledge because our people perish from the lack of knowledge.
-
To develop healthy young women teaching them beauty starts within.
-
To teach the girls how to stand together, love all mankind and how to support each other's successes.
-
To reach our entire community not just the four walls of our church.
We teach etiquette, hospitality, fashion, do's and don'ts. What's appropriate and what's not. Our most popular events are the Rainbow Tea, Miss Grace Crowing, and many other fundraisers. All money goes directly toward college scholarships.
ABOUT HEART 2 HEART
The Heart 2 Heart Ministry has been serving youth girls in the Contra Costa Community for over 20 years. The ministry partners young girls (10 years old to 18 years old) with Mentors (mature women) who come alongside the parents in cultivating a relationship to build the girls confidence, independence and inspiring them to achieve their personal goals.
Our Mentors are a group of experienced women who have a heart and a passion for youth girls. Each mentor has committed to building a relationship with one mentee to teach, train and pour in as much love into them as if they were their own daughter.
Every two years, the ministry hosts a Grace Crowning Event where two girls are recognized for being active in their church ministries, volunteering in their community, being a leader in their schools and a positive influence to their peers. The older mentee, usually between the ages of 14-18 is crowned Miss Grace and is awarded a $1,000.00 college scholarship upon graduating high school. The younger mentee, usually between the ages 10-13 is awarded a $200.00 gift card. The girls dress in formal gowns, are catered lunch, and escorted in the event with prominent male figures in their line.
In addition to the Grace Crowning, the Heart to Heart Ministry hosts the Rainbow Tea every year. Each mentee and mentor picks a color and a theme to decorate their table and invites guests to participate in this awesome event.
The ministry meets every third Friday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at varying locations.
We are excited to be Mentors to this generation of young ladies. They are our next generation of leaders. If you would like to join this ministry as a mentee or mentor, please contact Lady Qwivander Smith at ladyqsmith@gbfofantioch.org.
