Building Community Partnerships

October 20 | 10:30-12 EST | Rev. Dee Stickley-Miner & Rev. Karen Cook

We all have something to offer. As we look outside of the walls of the church, there are organizations, businesses, agencies, institutions, and other churches working for the good of the community. Making a difference in our local communities can begin by coming alongside these organizations with mutuality and a common vision of a whole community.
