Our Mission

The pursuit of peace and well-being in the community of Wichita through the formation of partnerships with individuals, faith communities and helping organizations.  In short, Peace through Partnerships.

The is a vibrant cluster of small communities that are working toward the good of the community.  They are engaging the Social Service System, building resources, informing the community and working together to meet the needs of the community.  PFW seeks to unite and strengthen these communities by building partnerships between congregations, our neighbors and Faith-based Social Service Agencies.

To this end, Partners for Wichita (PFW) will have extensive programs for encouraging donors and raising funds for faith-based social service agencies through multiple strategies.  PFW will also have several outposts where partners are building rapport with faith-based organizations and the Worshipping communities to pursue programs and activities that make for peace  In addition, PFW will strengthen the community ministries of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and other congregations.  As a Lutheran Service Organization, PFW will continue to improve its services and sharpen its vision in accordance with the standards of Lutheran Service Organizations nationwide.
