CTAC operates under three pillars: Safety, Education, and Opportunity.
The current environment within our city, like many other cities, is plagued with senseless gun violence and murder. Our communities and families are suffering from multiple traumas that can impact them for years to come without intervention. This is becoming more prevalent with our children who are constantly being bombarded with violence, neglect and who lack resources, which perpetuates the cycle of hopelessness. Churches Take A Corner (CTAC), working with strategic partners who are committed to creating solutions that effectively restore public trust and safety.
On August 7, 2021, we altered the message from death and destruction city-wide, to “Peace on the Streets - Healing Beyond Bullies and Bullets!” Strategically, CTAC realized that there was a need to include the communities because they are the frontline constituents (stakeholders).
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr -
PROGRAMS
Our programs are Christ and Faith-centered. However, our programs and services are for everyone regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or background. Men, women, and families are welcome to experience HOPE and WHOLENESS. In our experience,
lasting and sustainable change comes from making a series of right choices.
That’s why we minister to the whole person–body, mind, and spirit.
PROJECT RESCUE
CTAC is connecting faith-based and community organizations, secular businesses, local, county and state agencies, and law enforcement associations to increase public safety. To assist our marginalized communities in crisis, CTAC's interventional strategies includes, but is not limited to NARCAN Training & Distribution, SBIRT & Motivational Interviewing, and Stop The Bleed implementation.
HOUSING
CTAC in conjunction with emergency agencies refers people to shelters for displaced individuals and families, living on the streets. Also, CTAC focuses on our seniors who are in need of house repairs, by locating qualified repair workers, who may be looking for assistance with city ordinances to live safely in the community
NEW ENTRY
CTAC implements its new entry/re-entry 12-week program "Restoration Through Spiritual Development" to assist inmates with successfully supporting their transition back home. This is achieved by partnering with Parole and Probation, employment agencies, and community organizations to ensure they have the proper wraparound services.
MAN & MOM ON THE BLOCK
MMOTB
Man and Mom On The Block Neighborhood Safety Program is designed to put the 'neighbor' back into the hood. CTAC trains an effective team of men and women who volunteer to be a safe place for their neighbors. We will instruct individuals in how to handle emergency situations on their block, identify the appropriate resources and connect them with peer-to-peer solutions for trauma based situations.

CTAC appoints people who we have trained to keep our children safe either walking or riding school buses daily, going to and from school. Our methods of safety prevention, our collaboration with the school districts, civic associations, and partnering with PTAs have proven to successfully change the climate and respect for safety within the community.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
CTAC collaborates with different consortiums of professional journeymen, engineers, and with different builders, connecting licensed contractors to provide skill assessments, training, and employment.
