| In
context of the Community of Dreams vision we are forming long-term strategic
partnerships in 500 U.S. cities using a Total
Community Solutions planning framework. We
prefer to establish this close relationship with just one church in each
city (or city part) but then support each Partner in their desire to network
and partner with other churches for greater impact.
Once the relationship is established,
we essentially throw all development, research, planning, creative content,
imaging and branding, ongoing coaching, and the resources of our national
partners into the mix. For your part, all we ask is an agreement on some
basic values and vision (see 21Q), a start-up annual budget for a moderate
level of media-based and volunteer-based strategies things you are likely
doing already), and a high enthusiasm and desire to really work as partners
for a focused, sustained plan to reach your city.
The focus is on relationships, building
a national network of passionate cityreachers and leaders who collaborate
and innovate together to produce effective best practices of holistic
cityreaching. These withreach approaches
will be perfected in the trenches and emerge as transformational models
that will inform an exciting future for all of us.
If you think you might be interested
joining our team, please call or write, or simply provide some quick thoughts
via the form below. We'll let you know right away if your city is open.
If a Partnership is already established in your area we will provide you
with a point of contact and as you wish, facilitate local collaboration.
