Azalea Village
BACKGROUND OF MINISTRY:
The Azalea Village Ministry (AVM) was created by the Session of Clairmont Presbyterian Church (CPC) at their February 2005 meeting. The elders agreed to dedicate to the glory of God the church-owned property (houses and park) between Azalea Circle and Clairmont Road.
The seven houses would be provided to qualified families in the community rent-free for temporary occupancy. This ministry implements the church’s long-term vision and missional emphasis.
