Recession Response
In an effort to help people impacted by the current economic recession, Vineyard Columbus has created tangible ways to offer assistance to church members and attenders, where it is most needed.
Our desire is to respond to the challenges being brought about by the recession according to the initiation and leading of God. With this in mind, we want to provide a holistic approach by helping people with employment, finances, referral to resources, spiritual growth and support.
Intake and Care
An Intake and Care Coordinator is available to assess applicants' priorities and concerns, and connect them to the appropriate services and resources.
We understand that job loss and financial difficulties not only have economic consequences; they can be emotionally devastating and bring on many stressors. It is our desire that, through Recession Response involvement, individuals will feel cared for and encouraged as they navigate difficult circumstances. Our goal is that people will ultimately grow in their relationship with Christ, learning to trust in His timing and provision.
Employment Assistance
One of the greatest needs during this time is for employment assistance. An Employment Specialist is available to help with skill assessment, resume review and enhancement and search strategy development.
Financial Guidance
Many people are facing economic setbacks. A Financial Counseling Specialist is available to help navigate the myriad of issues in the financial landscape. To learn more about additional opportunities for coaching, education and resource tools, connect with Financial Freedom.
Apply
Anyone desiring assistance through Recession Response must complete and submit the Economic Crisis Inquiry Form.
