Welcome to Sandtown

Well, come on in...don't be shy. We love it when people stop by to visit our little corner of the world. It doesn't matter what you look like or what you're wearing, whether you're rich or poor, urban or suburban, black or white. The only thing that matters is the "content of your character".

It is our hope that our site will inform, educate, inspire and encourage all who visit with us. Because we believe that our story is one of hope, hope for all communities like ours that have experienced what the experts refer to as urban blight. Against tremendous odds we've refused to quit, to give in to the temptation to cut and run when it looked like all was lost. Armed with a deep rooted faith in God and love for our community we continue in our struggle to rebuild our neighborhood. Those of us who have stuck it out, along with those who have joined us, will continue to "fight the good fight" until the day when "God's Peace" is a reality in Sandtown. We have a long way to go, and it's going to take a lot of hard work, but by God's grace we know we will be more than conquerors in our struggle.
