Christian Community Development: The BIG Picture

If a church or faith-based organization starts an after school program is it doing Christian Community Development? What if they also help families leave poverty one at a time? Is that community development? This workshop provides a platform for participants to think about their efforts in terms of six broad dimensions of community development.

This workshop challenges participants to the biblical call to act justly, and offers an opportunity to practice these steps together: naming systems that keep people poor; listing the stakeholders (those affected); creating alternatives; working with policy makers; producing a campaign; and, growing the ‘we.’
