Welcome to pushingforward.org

Pushingforward.org is the official website of Metanoia Community Development Corporation (CDC).  Metanoia CDC is a movement of people rooted in faith. We invest in neighborhood assets to build leaders, establish quality housing, and generate economic development.  We are pushing forward into new relationships with God and one another to create strong communities.

Three central priorities guide our work in N. Charleston.  We are. . .

Community Based: We seek the input and involvement of community members, acknowledging that they are the true experts on how to address issues within their own neighborhoods. Though individuals and organizations from around the nation support Metanoia, we acknowledge that it needs grassroots direction from the community to survive and thrive.

Asset Driven: Metanoia recognizes that all communities have both deficits and gifts. We believe that the best way to bring strength to a community is to invest in its gifts and not focus on its deficits. This enhances the community’s esteem and makes real change possible.

Rooted in Faith: We seek to embody the Spirit of God within a specific community (The Chicora/Cherokee Neighborhood of N. Charleston). We gain our primary sense of direction by asking how God would have us respond to particular issues within our neighborhoods.

As you browse our website we invite you to look for where these priorities shine through in our work.  And thank you for visiting – by checking us out you are becoming part of the Metanoia or "positive transformation" that we are working for.
