About
Purpose and Values
To cultivate a culture where faith is coupled with deeds
Streetworks has three main aims:
-
Service.
Serving the communities of Hamilton City. -
Exposure.
Providing a platform aimed at exposing people to the needs of our city. -
Culture.
Creating a community of people with a culture of active service and compassion for others.
We are passionate about exposing people to the many and varied needs in Hamilton. In light of this priority, what happens for the volunteers on a Streetworks project or event day is just as important as the work that is being done. We want to see people challenged by the situations and circumstances they witness.
This means that people are the most important aspect of Streetworks; both our volunteers and those whom we are serving. Over time, we’ve realised more and more the deeper level of need that is present in the people who Streetworks serves and who serve in Streetworks. God has challenged & encouraged us to be more intentional about sharing our faith in Jesus & ministering to people as we bless them at Streetworks events. We believe we can be intentionally taking steps to create space for God to move, whilst still retaining Streetworks’ ‘no strings attached’ value.
“ We long to see Streetworks events being a platform to expose people to other people and situations outside what they usually see in their lives ”
