AVA is organized by our denomination as a way to minister to those who have been, or are, victims of abuse. Currently, we are seeking anyone who may be interested in being a part of our local AVA team. Team members would be aware of local resources and be available, if needed, to come alongside a victim who is looking for some kind of refuge.
