A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources.

Join Charles Cheek to learn more about redistribution.

Christian Community Development restores, empowers, develops, and creates opportunities for leadership.

As CCD practitioners, we desire to foster leadership development within citizens of the Beloved community and not just clients of our programs. The core of leadership development is identifying, mentoring, retaining, and getting out of the way of leaders already in our communities. For CCD ministries, supporting and developing leaders from the community is a huge priority that requires absolute commitment; the payoff is that our communities will be filled with strong Christian leaders who love their neighbors, and have the skills and abilities to lead our churches, organizations and other institutions that bring sustainable health to our communities. Join Dr. Vatreisha Nyemba to learn more about Leadership Development
The culture of your organization will far outlast your time as part of it. Whether in an established ministry with a long legacy or a startup non-profit, you must consider the culture you are creating and fostering for sake of those you work with and serve. In this workshop, Emanuel (Ricky) Padilla will provide a framework for reading your existing culture, identifying points of interest, and changing with targeted proposals. It will prepare you to start creating a new, healthy culture for your organization.
Since the murder of George Floyd, many organizations have created statements, made a commitment to racial equity and professed to explore the necessary changes needed for inclusive workplaces. Despite these efforts, real change must be intentional and requires more than conversations but acknowledgement of the transgressions, real and honest introspection with all impacted, the review and revision of policies and an examination of the organizational culture. In this session, learn more about how your organization can move beyond talk to transformation.
