Mobilize Churches to Transform Your City Together
Join a growing movement of churches and nonprofits working side by side to meet real needs and point people to Christ.
If your church vanished tomorrow, would your city even notice?
The people around us are hurting, and looking for hope. The church is meant to reach the hurting and vulnerable, yet most of God’s people are not being deployed to meet the most urgent needs around them.
We believe the Church was designed to not just share the Gospel, but show it.
Matthew 25:35-36 & Ephesians 4:11-13
When Congregations And City Resources Collide…
Homeless find Shelter
Schools Find Resources
Low Income Families Are Fed
Races Become Reconciled
Children are Adopted
Freedom is Found
…and the Church is at its best!
What We Do
Research Local Outreach Impact
We lead nationwide research efforts every year to learn about the effectiveness of local outreach through churches in order to better inform future training and advocacy.
Community Minister Training
An essential part of successfully integrating churches into their cities is employing Community Ministers (also known as Local Outreach church leaders). We launched an network specifically to train up these essential people.
Encourage Connections Between Churches and Local Organizations
No one church can meet every need, and many churches aren’t close enough to the problem to be effective in helping on their own. Find out more about how to mobilize your congregation outside the walls of your church.
Quote KC Pastor
“Something about what WITC did for them or their city.”
