Transforming Communities through the Local Church
The local church is already present in every village, trusted by families and close to those in need. Our Church Engagement work brings churches together, trains pastors and leaders, mobilizes volunteers, and helps congregations lead community development that lasts.
By strengthening what churches are already doing, we help communities define their own future through unity, service and discipleship.
150+ Churches

Key challenges and barriers
Divided and under-resourced churches
Congregations often work alone, which limits what they can achieve together for their communities.
Limited leadership training
Many pastors and lay leaders have little access to training in leadership, care and community development
Weak links with local systems
Churches and local leaders are not always connected to government, partners and other community groups.
Our Approach
Unite: Building church unity and collaboration
We bring churches across denominations together around shared goals. Our work includes:
Church networks that plan and act together at village and district level.
Joint community projects that pool volunteers and resources.
Equip: Strengthening leaders and discipleship
Strong leaders build strong communities. Our programming includes:
Leadership and pastor training in shepherding, governance and community development.
Discipleship and spiritual growth resources for congregations and small groups.
Mobilize: Engaging volunteers and communities
We help churches turn compassion into lasting action:
Volunteer mobilization with training, roles and support for caring for vulnerable families.
Community engagement through listening meetings and local development plans led by residents.
Inclusion of women and youth in leadership and decision making.
