This resource is designed for pastors and lay leaders eager to engage their congregations in faith-based community organizing to combat poverty and its root causes. It aims to deepen understanding and inspire action, also serving denominational leaders who wish to guide their churches in mission. The authors share insights gained from their experiences, highlighting that people of faith possess the capability to address and overcome poverty. They identify local church resources and provide tools for building relationships with community leaders and those experiencing poverty. Congregations are encouraged to form local partnerships that unite them, individuals in poverty, and community leaders to advocate for meaningful change. This effort seeks to uncover the factors sustaining poverty and mobilize individuals to collaborate in addressing its underlying issues. The outcome is the development of collaborative relationships that can transform systems perpetuating poverty. Through this process, new leadership will emerge, relationships will deepen, and congregations will experience a renewed commitment to serving others, ultimately leading to transformative change.
