Who are we?
The Graffiti Network of ministries and churches believe being a follower of Jesus means sharing God’s love in tangible ways in the most difficult places. Rather than starting with a church that grows faithful people that then minister in the community, Graffiti turns this model upside down, beginning with ministry—meeting the need first. This ministry-first model grows faithful people who strengthen the church and continue ministry in their community.
Over Graffiti’s 40-year history, beginning first in Metropolitan New York and now extending to other locales, principles and best practices have been developed. Sometimes counter-intuitive, these Upside Down Principles and Best Practices have become the bedrock for healthy, long-lasting, Biblically based ministry in communities of need.
