22nd Annual Arts of August Grand Finale Showcase at The Gasworks.

Living Rock Ministries held the 22nd Annual Arts of August Grand Finale Showcase at The Gasworks. We exhibited 89 works of art from 57 young, talented youth artists! They submitted pieces of visual, literary, photography and performance arts under the themes of Peace, Love, Equality, and Culture. Thank you to all of our sponsors, to the summer team who helped piece this together, to all those who came out to the exhibit, to our judges, and to the youth who so bravely submitted their work. The vibes were immaculate.
Living Rock MINISTRIES-Youth Resource Centre, exists to be a safe place of community & support for youth

Living Rock Ministries has provided programs that engage, encourage and equip youth.

What We Do:
For 38 years, Living Rock Ministries has been a vital resource for youth, responding to over 22,000 visits last year alone. We serve one of Hamilton's most vulnerable populations: young people aged 13-25 facing challenges such as family loss, poverty, substance misuse, and mental health issues.

Navigating social systems can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to meeting essential needs like food, education, and shelter. Living Rock Ministries addresses these challenges through a comprehensive range of programs and services that provide a continuum of care. Our initiatives support youth and their children by offering basic necessities such as food, a sense of belonging, access to clothing, and facilities for showers and laundry. Additionally, we provide opportunities for personal growth, life skills development, and employment training, helping youth build brighter futures while feeling celebrated and cared for along the way.
