WITHOUT WALLS VISION
After 10 years working with Charleston's inner-city, Pastor Gordon Cashwell was
challenged by the Lord to develop a "church without walls", which did not have a building and in which race,
denomination, or economic status did not divide, and where the focus was on people outside the walls of the typical church
building. The answer: a union of churches going into the "highways and byways" and reaching out to economically
challenged neighborhoods to bring physical and spiritual blessings.  |

Without Walls
Ministry is a non-profit organization, partnering with local churches, humanitarian groups, business and civic organizations to meet
the needs of impoverished families. The ministry offers physical and spiritual help to individuals and families throughout
the greater Charleston Area by way of becoming a good neighbor by adopting local neighborhood blocks to minister in and by
hosting special outreach events which minister to groups by showing the love of Jesus by feeding, clothing,
sharing the gospel and simply loving those in need.
At Without Walls Ministries outreaches, local businesses,
churches, and community agencies come together to provide the poor, the hurting, and forgotten a message of hope, food,
free groceries, health screenings, job fairs, haircuts, games and activities for children, and much more. All goods and services—which
are donated and supplied locally, are provided to guests free of charge. This all-volunteer outreach mobilizes area residents
to serve in an urban mission and make a difference in their community. Strong participation by local businesses, churches,
community agencies, and individuals is crucial to the success of outreaches.
Opportunities for ongoing service are made possible by giving volunteers a chance to connect with
local residents, making a lasting impression on all who participate.
