Servant Partners
Servant Partners, a 501(c)(3), was formed in 2003 by a group of individuals interested in hurricane relief work and soon after evolved into granting student scholarships and residential housing construction in Central America, especially Honduras.
In 2023, the founder of Servant Partners transitioned, and a new board was formed with both a shared and a new focus.
Vision – Bringing Hope and Transformation to individuals and families
Mission – Teaming up with Christian faith ministries and marketplace organizations that are involved with individuals and families in transformational ways to bring hope and wholeness.
As certified by the State of Ohio to be a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), Servant Partners’ priority is to team up with Central Christian School in being the non-profit organization to receive funds from donors who have an interest in awarding academic scholarships to students attending Central Christian School with a priority to low-income students.
