Discover Ways to Help a Child Flourish This Year

Perimeter Church partners with local elementary and middle schools in our community with the goal that every child would graduate from high school. Establishing these relationships with public schools provides an abundance of ways for us to serve, pray, and positively influence and bless children and their families.

Building one-on-one mentoring relationships

Kids Hope Mentoring

The mentoring ministry through Perimeter Church began a decade ago with a national, non-profit partner, Kids Hope USA. Our leaders have been trained and in turn, train and provide ongoing support and encouragement to volunteer mentors. Each trained mentor engages in a one-on-one relationship with a child at their neighboring school, meeting for just one hour each week.
