Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the Chapel Hill and Durham areas. Many have low incomes and numerous cross-cultural challenges. Some are also Christians. We want to learn from them and to demonstrate God's love to them. We do this mainly by helping their children succeed in school, working in two locations.
Eagles Nest
An intergenerational tutoring program for Latino students at Creekside Elementary school (located in Durham six miles from UNC campus). Eagles Nest exists to witness God's light in the public school system by serving Latino students with the greatest literacy needs. The students served in Eagles Nest all live in Wellington Place apartments, a low-income apartment community in Durham. For more information, contact Laura Yost-Grande.
Arriba! Tutoring and Moreene Road Ministry
Several CHBC members have been blessed with the opportunity to live in a largely Hispanic apartment complex and neighborhood. They have been called to support this community in many tangible ways while spreading the love of God. For more information please contact Laurie Newell.
