Churches are integral to the well- being of neighborhoods and communities. By placing ministries alongside others, seeking partnerships with community residents, and building strong networks and coalitions, the gifts of everyone can be harnessed to strengthen communities.

Upon completion of the four-units that comprise the Certificate in Community Engagement and Ministry, you will have the skills to help your congregation move outside the walls of the church building and strengthen your engagement with neighbors, and the neighborhood. You will be equipped to guide your church to deepen its connection to your community and discover a renewed sense of purpose.
