Granny’s House is a place to learn about and experience God’s love and tender mercies. Children of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcome. Our volunteers believe that how we interact with the children and with one another is a powerful testimony and witness of Christ’s love and power to change lives. We often do more “show” than “tell.”
One unexpected benefit of Granny’s House is that it has become a “bridge” between Columbia’s Christian community and the residents of public housing. The majority of our volunteers have never been inside public housing. For them, Granny’s House is a bridge into a part of their community they may have never known. For the children, Granny’s House has provided a bridge into life in the larger community outside public housing. The inner city takes on a face and a name and the children get to see “Christianity: 3D!”
