You were created for an earthshaking life

Dream Center Peoria is on a mission. The mission to help families living in poverty starting with the youth. Give them hope where the dream died and help them start to see what their future could be. We ask for you to join us as we give hope to a generation of hopelessness through activities such as Metro Kidz where weekly we go into Taft Homes for fun, games, and Bible stories.


Metro Kidz is under going some very exciting changes. We are thrilled to introduce our Metro Kidz leader, Kim Goodman. Kim brings with her the enthusiasm and commitment to see Dream Center's Metro Kidz program flourish. She has a passion not just for the children that Metro Kidz serve, but for the entire family of each child. There are multiple opportunities for you to get involved, so please come and get involved.

Metro Kidz meeting September 2nd, 6:30 pm.m at DCP!

We are excited and confident in the vision God as given Kim for the program and want to invite you to an informational meeting to hear this exciting vision. I would like to emphasize the urgency for both current AND new/potential volunteers to attend this meeting.

Metro Kidz will start back up September 11th, every Saturday from 11-noon

If you can't make the meeting but would like to get involved contact Kim Goodman (309) 825-4054

Looking back . . . . .



Mission Peoria week was a high energized week. The youth surely kept my adrenaline going, without much coffee! There seemed to always be something to do, places to go and be. There didn't seem to be a dull moment from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Below are some of the videos that will give you a glimpse of experience the youth had. God's presence was evident as they went into the communities and stood to worship in evening service! If your skeptical about if it really could have been the amazing week we keep saying it was.... Check it out! :-)

BackPack Peoria (Saturday, July 31,2010): WMBD, WEEK 25

We hope the youth have found this experience to be life changing. And as they start school back up their hearts are continually stirred to believe, transcending their current circumstances. God's power is more than capable of working all things together for our good, of completing this thing He began in us and letting no temptation overpower us. Mission Peoria is a week long mission trip, but the youth can continue to serve with us throughout the year in the Hope Store, youth department, Metro Kidz and various other programs.
