Thank You for Helping
Christmas JOY Telethon is a FUNdraiser Community Event to benefit Living Ministries and our Affiliate Ministries: Hearts For Homeless Outreach and Canz 4 Toyz.
Our team of people have worked hard to find the best local artists and representatives from local organizations to fill 4.5 Hours of FUNdraising for our community for the last 4 YEARS!

Our Mission Statement:
Building Relationships & Meeting Needs in Our Community
Our Purpose & Vision:
The Purpose & Vision of Living Ministries is to unify the community to restore relationships & administer hope to homeless people & those in need. We will succeed by helping those who do not have a building they call home to realize their value & enable them to reach their personal growth goals, lift up those that are struggling to remain in their homes, & stand beside community helpers. We will do this by dropping our egos & doing what we can to create a clearing house of all resources in our community & work toward completion of specific projects with other organizations as we feel led to be part of.
Our Target Population
While Living Ministries serves all community members seeking information & resources made available by organizations in our community, our target population are people without homes & those who are on the brink of homelessness.
At this point the Geographic Reach of Living Ministries has only had the opportunity to impact the Kelso-Longview, WA area, but our goal is to be large enough to help all of Cowlitz County.
We have also considered the possibility of helping areas beyond Cowlitz County as opportunity arises.
Living Ministries is made strong by our team:
- Summer D Clemenson – Executive Director, Acting Treasurer
- Karen Gidderon – President
- Jamie Holloway – Secretary
Advisory Committee:
- Lynn Brown – Hearts For Homeless Executive Director
We are always looking for new ideas…and TEAM MEMBERS. If you are interested in meeting us please join us at our monthly Power Meeting or Contact Us. We encouraging Being An Activist!
Because we are a Christian organization, we have worked hard to not portray Living Ministries as a church. As goes with the personal convictions of our members we understand that Christ in us doesn’t only meet up on Sunday in the building of our choice, He must live in us as His Mobile Kingdom. If you are a member of a church we do not want to offend, nor do we want to say any church is better or otherwise than any other. We hope that you find fellowship wherever you feel that you can add to the body and be happy doing it.
We also understand that ministries that are born out of people in any body sometimes grow beyond the walls of the building. This is a beautiful thing, but sometimes that also means that the church it was born in, can no longer provide the same support. It is part of our ministry to step beside those ministries that have outgrown their first home. Since the goal of Living Ministries is to stand beside other groups that help people (and their pets) this seems like the natural progression on our journey.
Living Ministries Affiliated Ministries receive help with their marketing, advice on policies, and volunteers as we can make them available. If they do not have a Board of Directors they can borrow ours. As Living Ministries grows we plan to be able to offer fiscal sponsorships to up-and-coming ministries because we see that the gifting and callings and anointings from God may take up so much time, that business licenses and insurance and taxes may be just a little too much until that ministry has enough regular members and volunteers to carry that burden too.
