This Year's Advancing the Vision and Year-End Goal
Our goal is $180,000 before the end of the year. Here are some of the highlights of our work:
The Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope: The goal of the pilgrimage is individual and community transformation. Participants immerse themselves in the story of the city and the story of God as they reflect on their own stories and discover their role in seeking a thriving Durham today.
Church Mobilization: We are unifying the body of Christ and mobilizing the Church to listen to their communities and love their neighbors as Jesus calls us.
Community Education: We create and curate materials, resources, workshops, and trainings to inform our city about our gifts and challenges and help them take action.
Backbone Support: We provide infrastructure, skills, and people power to support and sustain initiatives like Durham CDF Freedom School, the Mt. Level Community Partnership for Racial Justice, the Bragtown Community Association, El Foro de Padres, and Stagville Memorial Project - and many initiatives sparked by those organizations.
Journey to Thriving: We launched the first of three cohorts of six churches who will go through a three-year process of learning about their communities, reflecting on their congregational identity, and adapting to our changing world.
