Would like to walk an organization through the process of building a transformative relationship with its community - a relationship beyond food pantries and homeless shelters? If so, contact us for training sessions and opportunities to partner.
Is your church/organization connected to the community in which its located? Is your church/organization the hub of the community? Is it a place of refuge for the community? Do you know the residents and do the residents know you? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, I encourage you to consider registering for The Great Connection.

WHEN
Organizations can schedule a meeting to retain our consultant and plan sessions. Sessions are available in two-day or six week formats.
WHERE
An initial session can be virtual but subsequent meetings are in-person. Sessions can be held anywhere in the United States. Organizations are encouraged to partner with others in their region and host a regional meeting in a central location.
WHY
The challenges that face communities throughout nation will take a collective effort. Churches and other nonprofit organizations cannot tackle the issues successfully in isolation. The Great Connection ensures that nonprofits are engaging in a collective effort to meet the needs of the community. It will require that organizations abandon their individual agendas so that the larger community benefits from the program. There must be cross-sector coordination around a common agenda.
