To build and encourage self-sustaining faith-based communities with people on the margins. We want to empower those who may be struggling with life challenges that contribute to them feeling uncomfortable in existing middle class faith communities.
The Empowered Faith Communities concept centres on community gatherings in and amongst people living in poverty. Empowerment is central to the model, underpinned by proven principles for sustainable, long-term human flourishing.
We are committed to helping faith-based groups establish Empowered Faith Communities in their context. We are ready to equip you with training, resources and ongoing support.
