“Love Never Fails. We are called to ACT on behalf of those in need of Redemption.”
Our Founder, the late Rev. Faith Brown, believed that love never fails, not for the gang member nor the neighbor struggling with addiction. Through that conviction, Rev. Faith established Urban Youth Alliance in New York City, which eventually gave birth to Seekers Christian Fellowship and later the Connect programs. Rev. Brown planted our roots on Fox Street in 1970, at a time when most of the world turned its back on the drug and incarceration epidemic plaguing our Bronx community.
