WORSHIP & COMMUNITY
Healing Communities
Every 2nd Saturday at 10AM
Healing Communities is a framework for a distinct form of ministry for men and women returning from or at risk of incarceration, their families and the larger community. Healing Communities challenges congregations to become Stations of Hope for those persons affected by the criminal justice system.
We train communities of faith to:
-
walk with the returning citizens (connect returning citizens to resources that will help set attainable goals)
-
help them connect with their faith (provide spiritual support)
-
open their hearts to them (foster positive relationships)
-
embrace them (extend open and affirming fellowship)
-
provide understanding (collaboration with family and friends to rebuild relationships)
-
advocate for political change on a local, state, and federal level
