Mobilize Churches to Transform Your City

Join a growing movement of churches and nonprofits working side by side to meet real needs and point people to Christ.

Support the Vision

If your church vanished tomorrow, would your city even notice?

The people around us are hurting, and looking for hope. The church is meant to reach the hurting and vulnerable, yet most of God’s people are not being deployed to meet the most urgent needs around them.

We believe the Church was designed to not just share the Gospel, but show it.

Matthew 25:35-36 & Ephesians 4:11-13

When Congregations And City Resources Collide…

Homeless find Shelter

Schools Find Resources

Low Income Families Are Fed

Races Become Reconciled

Children are Adopted

Freedom is Found

…and the Church is at its best!

What We Do

Research Local Outreach Impact

We lead nationwide research efforts every year to learn about the effectiveness of local outreach through churches in order to better inform future training and advocacy.

Community Minister Training

An essential part of successfully integrating churches into their cities is employing Community Ministers (also known as Local Outreach church leaders). We launched a network specifically to train up these essential people.

Learn About the Community Minister Network

Encourage Connections Between Churches and Local Organizations

No one church can meet every need, and many churches aren’t close enough to the problem to be effective in helping on their own. We host annual Summits with topics on all things community ministry so that church leaders can mobilize their congregations outside the walls of their churches.
