Welcome to The Christian Service Center Web Site!
Our Mission
The Christian Service Center is the organized expression of
the Pleasure Island Ministerial Association's social welfare concerns for
the people living in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. This concern is
expressed through the provision of direct and indirect services to assist in
meeting the needs of the population without regard to race, creed,
nationality or gender.
The Center is funded by the Ministerial Association, The
Churches of Pleasure Island, Community Organizations and concerned
individuals. Their contributions maintain the Center and provide emergency
aid. A Board of Directors composed of the pastors and lay representatives
of the Ministerial Association's churches, agency representatives and
program chairmen, determines the policies and set guidelines. The center is
staffed by volunteers
The center is a "Hand Up" rather than a "Hand Out" Agency.
Clients are given Immediate help with their financial emergency. That help
acts as a "Band Aid" while we try to show clients the way to a more
permanent solution to their problem. We provide counseling for clients who
have continual needs and make referrals to other agencies. Catholic Social
Services will send a representative to the Center as needed for special
circumstances.
