Our Mission:

equip churches to engage in community partnerships that transform neighborhoods

We envision a movement where churches are trained and unleashed to collaborate with schools, service organizations, neighborhood associations, individuals and other churches for long-term neighborhood enrichment; social and spiritual transformation in Portland and beyond.

We Value...

responding to poverty …motivated by Christ’s example we initiate compassionate responses toward the vulnerable

collaboration …the people within neighborhoods hold the keys to the best solutions

holistic gospel …transformation occurs when stories of people converge with a holistic gospel

neighborhood assets …we help discover and develop latent assets in dis-empowered neighborhoods

multiplication …we train churches and others in a community development process, enabling them to equip others
