Sisters Lifting Sisters          Word Alive!         Shumbael Shelter

SLS Ministries is a mission of three works: Sisters Lifting Sisters, Word Alive, and Shumbael Shelter. The ministries operate to provide social resources, counseling and educational services for charitable purposes. We meet the emotional and psychological needs of persons seeking social assistance and counseling services. It is our intent to provide people assistance in obtaining social services, education, counseling and mentoring. It also provides services in conjunction with other existing service organizations. We meet monthly for life applicable workshops and seminars that will be useful to individuals and beneficial to the community. The ministry conducts educational programs through meetings, conferences, seminars, workshops and publications. SLS provides services without regard to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or national origin.
