ISAAC

It is my pleasure to introduce our new Development Consultant, Lauren Fitzmaurice.  In November 2015, ISAAC’s Leadership Board voted to offer Lauren a year-long contract to work on issues of organizational sustainability

I am always astounded when I see Romans 8:28 unfold in my life. The scripture states that: “…all things work together for good….” After learning that our initial Banquet speaker had to cancel, we reached out to a Founding Clergy Member of ISAAC, Dr. J. Louis Felton. Everything fell into place. It became clear that Dr. Felton was God’s choice […]

As ISAAC focuses on becoming more sustainable and less dependent upon grants, we are ecstatic and feel so blessed for the generous contributions given during our 2015 End-Of-Year Campaign.

ISAAC is excited to welcome Pine Island Presbyterian Church, under the leadership of Rev. Sara Dorrien-Christians, as a new Member!  Pine Island Presbyterian Church.

My first engagement with ISAAC was five years ago in a backroom of Open Doors Church in Kalamazoo’s Eastside neighborhood when Jeremy Orr looked at me and said, “You’re a pastor in the community.

I am excited to introduce ISAAC’s new Office Manager/Bookkeeper, Torian Johnson! A native of Kalamazoo, Torian graduated from Kalamazoo Central and is a longtime supporter of social justice in this community.

Right now, our task force members are carrying out 2-on-1 meetings with people in our community who can inform us about needs in early childhood and education, especially related to literacy and mental health.

As we move into a new year it is time for the Anti-racism Task Force to reach out into our community and begin the work of relationship building.

The Youth Violence Prevention Task Force is putting their heads together to present a Round Table.
