Faith-Based Partnerships
Community Missions is deeply committed to building partnerships in the faith community. Our goal in these partnerships is to seek common ground where we can work with local faith based organizations in ways that help them realize the full potential of their own ministries. Building these partnerships also increases awareness of CMI's many services, and increases the volunteerism that is so important to our ability to serve those in need. CMI also seeks to develop ongoing working faith based partnerships on the denominational, regional and nation levels.
We know from experience that your involvement with the Mission will have a positive affect not just for those we serve. Your involvement will help increase the health and effectiveness of your ministry as you become part of God's call to serve those in need.
There are many ways to get directly involved in ministry at the Mission and we have made it easy for you to get started.
