Gospel Centered Community and
​Economic Development

Poverty, unemployment, and hopelessness are unfortunate realities for too many people in our urban communities. As it relates to the church's roles in reversing these norms. Dr. Martin Luther King said it best:
“The gospel at its best deals with the whole man, not only with his soul but also his body, not only his spiritual well-being but also his material well-being. A religion that professes a concern for the souls of men and is not equally concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Churches can't do this by themselves. They must partner with businesses to make this happen. In fact they might need to partner with you...

 What is Economic Evangelism?

The purpose of Economic Evangelism is to ignite cycles of generational prosperity in families and communities that have been used to dealing with systemic poverty. At the heart of this innovative concept are spiritual and financial empowerment tools that meet the practical needs of people through holistic, faith-based business development and job skills training. The driving principles of this movement include:
  • JOBS: Economic empowerment through entrepreneurship training and small business development.
  • JUSTICE: Social empowerment through education and advocacy.
  • JESUS: Spiritual empowerment through discipleship and loving service.​
