Our Program
The Center for Community Change works with collaborating partners to provide training, mentorship, technical support and potential funding to pilot community-level projects.
Social Innovation
Through training and mentoring we support pastors through the process of social innovation to help them undertake community needs through assessments, program design, evaluation, grant writing, project management, and sharing important findings to continue to grow positive change in each pastors unique community.
Training, guidance and support
We understand the importance of training, guidance and support to our pastors. These resources are so impactful for being able to meet your community and church family's unique needs. It is important to us to offer the best resources to you so you can feel confident and ready to respond to your community by offering trauma-informed care, ethics, disaster relief, race and cultural relations, mental health, health disparities and poverty alleviation.
Three Phases
