The Five Pillars
A framework for community engagement across five areas of community life.
The Framing Question
"Instead of asking, 'What programs should we run?' we ask, 'How do we become indispensable to the people God has already called us to serve?'"
Five Areas of Community Life

Explore 02Economic Development
Building economic capacity and opportunity in underserved communities.
Explore 03Crime & Social Justice
Pursuing justice and safety for every member of the community.
