Transformed Communities
The partnership connects people in need with resources that can help. It identifies unmet needs in the community and helps churches build ministries to respond – to fill the gaps in services that the church(es) feel called to address.
Each Partner also serves the local community’s agencies and charities by accepting referrals from them of people who need assistance. Agencies and other organizations play an important role, but they cannot work outside of their mandates and protocols. Many everyday helps are things that agencies cannot provide, but church members can. Explore some examples.
