Peniel Initiative
The IMF Peniel Initiative is a collaboration between service providers and faith-based organizations that pledge to work together in the city of Nashville. Metropolitan Interdenominational Church serves as the lead agency for the Nashville site and the Interdenominational Ministers’ Fellowship (IMF) provides guidance in the implementation of the project.
This project will strengthen and support the Nashville community’s resources to assist crime victims in the four highest crime areas of the city. The highest crime areas were identified based on statistics compiled by the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department; they include the communities surrounding James C. Napier/Tony Sudekum, Sam Levy, John Henry Hale, and James Cayce Homes. The majority of residents (approximately 90%) in these target areas are African American, many of whom cope with poverty and discrimination as well as victimization.
The IMF Peniel Initiative is specifically designed to: 1. Increase faith-based organizations awareness of services to crime victims; 2. Improve the range and accessibility of services to crime victims; 3. Establish links between faith-based organizations and victim assistance programs; 4. Increase service providers’ awareness of the spiritual needs of crime victims
