Our Mission

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. – Matthew 5:16”

The government funds thousands of programs every year. However, there is a selection bias: the loudest voices are able to raise the most awareness. Consequently, underserved communities continue to be underserved by the government because they do not have a voice.

​

For 19 years, faith leaders have supported underserved communities. As problems such as homelessness grow, however, faith leaders are struggling to meet the demands of the underserved communities.

​

The mission of Faith And Community Empowerment (FACE) is to empower faith community leaders to better serve underserved communities. FACE trains faith leaders, educates underserved communities, and provides advocacy so that the voiceless may have a voice.

​

FACE started by helping the Korean American community. Hidden behind a model minority myth, the Korean American community is the most underserved ethnic community in Los Angeles. 

​

In 2016, FACE was invited to the White House in a discussion of how to empower faith communities to better reach out to underserved communities. FACE has expanded its programs to serve more communities, such as Hispanics. Donations will help grow FACE’s programs to provide training, education, and advocacy for underserved communities.
