The Empowered Faith Communities model aims 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 make them feel uncomfortable in existing middle-class faith communities.
The Empowered Faith Communities concept centres on community gatherings among 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.
