In many places, the faith community in all its multiple denominations is just as fragmented and in need of integration as the social service systems that we seek to transform. LeaderComm has developed a ground-breaking vision for the role of the faith community in neighborhood renewal. We envision congregations that:
• Understand the real, systemic needs of their community, and have deep relationships and data to show it;
• Are equipped with a robust theology for understanding culture through the lens of identity, vocation, work, and mission;
• Can articulate their unique and long-term role in serving the common good of their neighborhood and community, a community-based vocation;
• Move existing charity and volunteer efforts from ad hoc service projects toward strategic plans for long-term systemic impact; and
• Serve as a community hub for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and service.Add paragraph text here.
Faith Community Training: This seminar focuses on the potential for faith-based organizations to use LeaderComm principles in order to make a significant impact in their communities. It offers both a vision for a new role for faith organizations and the practical steps and tools that pastoral and lay leaders can use to inspire and implement meaningful community engagement in their congregations.
