Stories of Change

Our cohort training of congregations has focused on helping congregations…

Become learning/acting institutions

Understand their power to act meaningfully in collaboration with other community organizations and institutions

Transition into a new mode of being, learning to develop mission from “the ground up”, through listening to members of their congregations and local communities.

We have delighted in hearing many stories of outcomes such as these from congregations that have participated in Thriving Congregations.
