The Bridge Tutoring Initiative - Anderson First Church of the Nazarene
Your generosity provides academic coaching, individualized care, and stability for the youth of Madison County.
Anderson First Church of the Nazarene has consistently worked to uplift its community, especially its youth, for well over a century. The people of the church have exercised an active commitment to reach outside of the walls of the building and make a lasting impact.
The Bridge Tutoring Initiative was recently launched as part of the mission of the church and the student department. Bridge Tutoring provides individualized attention for middle and high school students. Joseph Claus, AFC’s passionate Youth Pastor, states that the recruitment and execution of the program was nearly flawless. He attributes this to the dedication of the program director, Dianna Stankiewicz, and partnerships that AFC has with local schools and the homeschooling community.
A Community Impact Grant from the Madison County Community Foundation
provided funds to recruit top-notch tutors and mentors who are passionate about making a difference.
Every Wednesday, the community center buzzes with activity—educational sessions, chapel services, tutoring, and enriching mid-week activities that nurture both minds and spirits.
Claus shares a poignant restoration story that epitomizes the impact of this initiative.
