A new energy is bubbling up in nine churches around our diocese. Congregations located all across the northern third of California, in urban, rural, and suburban settings, are participating in FaithX’s Vitality Improvement Program.
This project is getting members out of their church buildings and into their neighborhoods, whether that means going door-to-door in a residential area or connecting with local businesses in downtown Sacramento.
Churches participating in this project are clarifying their mission and communicating it to
their broader community.
The MapDash maps they have made available to us are a tremendous tool and are helping churches learn more about their geographic location with a more intentional focus on bridge-building and outreach.
We’re so glad to be part of this great experiment!
