Greater Apostolic Temple, Inc. is a certified 501(c)3 organization.
Our mission is to effectuate a positive change in the lives of people by bringing hope, opportunity, and assistance to economically and socially challenged children, youth, men, women and families.
Since 1984, we have been involved with community outreach bringing hope to the Southeastern Michigan area, as well as other Michigan cities, including Cassopolis and Albion.
We are located in the heart of one of the most economically stricken neighborhoods on the eastside of Detroit, which is our primary service area.
We strive to make a difference in our community through these primary areas:
•Provide meals
•Mentor the youth and young adults through job work and life skills training, and hands on work experience
• Engage the youth in recreational activities year-round to problem solve, enhance teamwork, build social skills, and learn effective ways of communication. One of the ways we engage the youth to accomplish these life skills is through our organized team sport - baseball. Life skills learned can lead to becoming better students in school, making better life choices, and having more educational opportunities for higher learning. Ultimately, our hope is for the youth to become responsible citizens.
•Educational assistance through tutoring and scholarship assistance for high school and college students.
Primary funding is received through organization members, small businesses, and private individuals, with their donations we are able to feed over 4,000 individuals through our Food Bank and Summer Lunch Program every year.
To further our mission, we have partnered with Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, Kroger Stores, Meijer, Microsoft Corporation, and April Steel Processing Inc., to help alleviate hunger, offer educational aids, and create job opportunities.
People are our greatest asset.
To this end, we strive to foster change, and create a culture of hope, help and opportunity for all to succeed.
