Mission Statement
Celestial Ministries Association is a nonprofit social enterprise located in the North Lawndale community. Our mission is to serve and increase the quality of life for individuals and families that live in single parent homes. We do this by offering a number of resources & programs that help keep families connected while building the next generation of leaders. Although Celestial is headquartered in North Lawndale, our services are offered for individuals and families throughout the Chicago-land area.
About This Cause
Celestial’s history began in 1994, with Stanley & Antoinette Ratliff, as a partnership with Prison Fellowship by adopting the Angel Tree program for children with incarcerated parents. Through Angel Tree, children of the incarcerated receive a gift on that parent’s behalf during the winter season. Since our inception Celestial now offers a number of programs & services including Celestial’s Mobile Outreach, Celestial’s Community Garden, After School Programs, and Celestial Sound studio. These programs are designed to keep families connected and raise the next generation of leaders while building within them real skills and provide a creative outlet to express themselves. Celestial Ministries supports over 600 youths/teens and this starts at Christmas with Angel Tree but it doesn’t stop there. Driving the families to visit loved ones in prison monthly. The STEM program is open for them as well as the music programs. Fresh veggies and fruits are provided from Celestial garden to the table.
