Overview of BLOC:  We are an inner city ministry that lives and works in the neighborhoods we serve. Our mission exists to build relationships with our neighbors and share hope in brokenness. We target neighborhoods that are underserved. We have a staff size of about 45 where we have after school programs, sports performance center, houses for women in sex trafficking, men and women transitional homes, two coffee shops, screen printing, and other forms of ministry to love our neighbors.  We also work outside of the borders of our neighborhood providing safe spaces for those in critical need. Programs like the Redeemed Homestead, a safe haven for child victims of sex trafficking are far outside our neighborhood, but share hope in brokenness all the same.    Jo
