Restoring hope, building faith, and shaping resilience in kids facing hardship
We pursue kids in tough places—the disenfranchised, the hurting, and those who feel lost. We believe that the Gospel satisfies all aspects of justice, and that’s why for nearly 30 years, Breakaway Outreach has been serving at-risk youth, justice-impacted children, and underserved communities through gospel-centered ministries that forge resilience, build character, and shape better futures.
From the margins of Chattanooga to the ends of the earth, we are intentional about mobilizing communities and multiplying missional movements that give kids facing adverse childhood experiences the opportunity to “breakaway” and step into more hope-filled futures. Through a myriad of local, regional, and global initiatives, we collaborate with churches, schools, agencies, nonprofits, and other community liaisons to employ trauma-informed care ministries that help vulnerable children rise above their risk factors and step into their God-given purpose.
Young people are NOT merely projects, but TREASURED vessels to be shaped into next generation leaders, restorers of justice, bridge builders of peace, ambassadors of reconciliation, and unashamed followers of Jesus Christ.
