There are many good places to begin this journey and you certainly will want to concentrate on the areas to which you feel instinctively drawn. But the best first step is to begin where you are. Ask God to specifically lead you in those first areas of development and transition that take into consideration how God has been leading you, positive accomplishments, your congregation and local culture, and your own God-given dreams and vision. We can help you think through these steps.

But also, if this is resonating with you, it is because you already embrace a holistic vision for community transformation. Keep that big picture with a corresponding commitment to the kind of comprehensive planning process that will create the active synergies and the significant results you desire.

The Community of Dreams Foundation is forming long term strategic City Partnerships encompassing planning tracks in all five strategic Synergies.

Does this awaken a dream in you? Do you desire to be catalyst in the transformational dream…to experiment, pioneer, and live out the adventure of fulfilling God's dreams for your city? If this is your call, we want to partner with you to model new ways that will inform others and forge new paths for others to follow.

We prefer to establish this close relationship with just one church in each city (or city part) but then support each Partner in the desire to network and partner with other congregations for greater impact.
