Incarnation Place exists to break the cycle of poverty by restoring hope through faith-rooted learning, nurturing wholeness of body, mind, and spirit, and equipping our neighbors for meaningful work and healthy family life. Together, we are building a beloved community where dignity is reclaimed, opportunity grows, and all can flourish in the abundant life God intends
In 2009, a handful of members of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, St. Paul United Methodist Church and Central Dallas Church started a lay-led, weekly Bible study group. Close relationships quickly developed, and in 2015, several members pondered the lack of after-school activities for Roseland Community children as well as safety and health issues impacting residents. Through long-term relationship-building efforts between these churches and the Roseland Community, Incarnation Place focuses on the following three areas:
-
Education - Literacy based after school programming and tutoring services available to all students we serve.
-
Mental Health & Wellness- providing therapists and support groups for children, adolescents, and adults
-
Community Building & Economic Stability- High school students are invited to join our Boys Fraternity and Girls Sorority programs which teach various life skills from resume building and personal safety. Additionally, we assist residents with needs like employment, financial literacy and groceries.
Today, Incarnation Place offers programs to approximately 2,500 children and adults living at or below the poverty line in and around the Roseland Community, which is a triangular-shaped area in the 75204 zip code.
