"Where there is no vision, the people perish . . . " (Prov 29:18)

Following the example of Jesus, we commit to the work of reconciliation, seeking the shalom of our communities and world. This calling is radical but in line with the Biblical prophetic tradition. To help create a Kingdom reality that is already accessible but also "not yet," we cultivate our prophetic imaginations and draw on spiritual sustenance for the journey.

Our Vision

Wholistically restored communities with Christians fully engaged in the process of transformation.

Next, defining our mission is a necessary step that takes us from just "seeing" to actually "doing."

Our Mission

To inspire, train, and connect Christians who seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and restoring under-resourced communities.

Finally, we believe that a relationship with God is key to shaping and sustaining both our vision and our work. A life committed to Christian Community Development (CCD) is often difficult and has been described by many of our Practitioners as "working in the trenches." Prayer, spiritual sustenance, and community are critical.

Our Statement of Faith

The Lord Jesus Christ, God's son, redeems us through His death and resurrection and empowers us by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is God's Word and through it we are called to live out justice, reconciliation, and redemption. The church nurtures God's people gathered in a community to carry out God's Word.
