"To prepare inner city children and adults for life in the
modern world by providing access to technological
and educational resources and spiritual guidance."

 

 

HISTORY

Pastor Victor L. Davis of Spirit of God Fellowship in Gary, Indiana recognized a need in the community for young students to have access to computers and the Internet. He realized that many urban students did not have the same access to technology as their suburban counterparts, falling behind in education and subsequently, the job market.

Pastor Davis reached out to the City of Gary and other private donors to set-up and establish the Spirit of God Technology Center in March of 2003. Beginnings consisted of two staff members, 30 computers, a state of the art computer-assisted tutoring program and no program fees.

The technology center quickly became the place to go for elementary and middle school-aged children. In 2006, the Indiana Youth Institute granted $40,000 to Pastor Vic's vision. The time was right to grow from a "church-owned" operation to a "community-owned" operation. The name was officially changed to Spirit of God Technology Center
and a new door to the entire community was opened.

CLASSES

As the City of Gary embarks on its 2nd hundred years, we believe the SOG Technology Center and future neighborhood technology centers will support and complement the foundation for the rebirth of all our communities.

It is our goal to give inner-city students the same technological opportunities that their suburban counterparts have. To that end we work with parents and children to develop character as well as computer skills and build well-rounded and thoughtful students for our future. We are proud to be 'bringing new opportunities to our community.
