Who We Are

What We Aim to Solve

Reborn has identified 5 key areas that make it difficult, if not impossible, to change the trajectory of a person’s life. These areas include: dysfunctional environments, little to no support networks, high levels of trauma, broken educational systems, and the lack of apprenticeship programs that develop job skills needed to acquire living wage jobs.

Mission Statement

Reborn Ministries exists to engage, empower and equip people on the west side of Chicago to move from surviving to thriving by focusing on three comprehensive key components: spiritual health, mental health and practical life skills.
