Dominion Ministries, Inc.: Statement of Purpose
Bringing together men and women of God who use the mind of Christ and the Word of God to prescribe practical solutions to social ills
Theme: “Changing community life by changing lives in the community”. Our message should be: We are not better than you, we are you.

OBSERVATIONS:
• The largest number of cases handled by the courts are FAMILY COURT cases
• Domestic violence cases are increasing especially among women & girls
• Major problem within the system is the lack of collaboration
• Parents may not have the capacity to help the child and the court system sets them up for failure when it offers no support system
FAMILY HEALING CENTERS…The Church
• made up of dysfunctional families
• any solution that does not offer spiritual guidance is NOT a solution
• ALL issues are mental/spiritual issues
DOMINION MINISTRIES INC stands for traditional values:
Family Reconstruction: The family is the first biblical institution and the foundation of society. The family must be promoted by the protection of the traditional institution of marriage (one man and one woman, protection of the unborn and the successful adoption of children separated from their biological parents)
Wealth Creation: If infrastructure for indigenous businesses can be encouraged, the growth of homeownership for minorities, support for small businesses, community re-development, prison after-care programs, social security and new jobs will transform minority communities.
Education Reform: Viable urban choices must be provided that do not destabilize existing school programs (ex.: charter schools) Higher education participation for Blacks, reduction of urban drop-out and improvement of school participation must be encouraged.
Prison Reform: Stronger endeavors must be made to reduce the number of repeat offenders through legislative efforts such as the Second Chance Act. In addition, legislative efforts must also be made to eliminate the inequities in the “3 strikes” system. Community and church programs must be empowered to provide after care programming to allow for a smoother transition of offenders back into the community at large.
