Redistribution means creating equal access to resources, power, and opportunity for all humanity. When God’s people commit to living in marginalized and low-status communities, seek to be good neighbors, exemplify what it means to be a follower of Christ, work for justice for the entire community, and utilize resources to address the problems of the community alongside their neighbors, then redistribution is being practiced. A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources. It breaks down our systems of poverty and oppression and decreases the economic disparity in our communities. As a result, our communities are able to flourish with the resources they need to do so. Join Darryl Answer to learn more about the CCD component of Redistribution.

The greatest sustaining power of community development is the community building of a local church. Christian community is based on people living in the community and having a local church to worship together. The church helps people to understand that each person has gifts and talents, and all must utilize those for the greater good of the community. A worshipping church breaks down many of the barriers, including racial, educational, and cultural barriers that often separate people in communities. Join Sam Heath and Rev. Dr. Eun Strawser to learn more about the CCD component of Church-Based.
