Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of poverty and homelessness in Charlotte, North Carolina. The researcher explores difficulties First United Presbyterian Church encountered getting a ministry to the economically disadvantaged established called Peter's Place. The project is based on the proposition that increased congregational awareness concerning poverty and homelessness would create greater support for the ministry among the church's membership. A series of Community Forums was held with different community advocates about poverty, unemployment and homelessness throughout Charlotte. The end result was a three hundred percent increase in volunteer support for Peter's Place at the beginning of its 2006 training sessions.
