*Note: In addition to the self-guided course, there are also options to engage with a coach trained in leading the Church change process (through our friends at Think Tank). These options are described in the sidebar.

When you see people in our community living in poverty you feel passionately that your church should do something to help. But what? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of poverty and unsure how your church could do something about it.

Over the past 20 years The Chalmers Center has equipped more than 10,000 churches and nonprofits to help people in poverty. No matter how big or small your church is, Mobilize My Church will guide you through a proven process to help you and your church build and launch an effective ministry that meets the unique needs of your community.

Mobilize My Church is not another overview of poverty and the best practices in serving the poor. It’s not a guilt-inducing series of steps that the average church member will never complete. It is a process that a handful of passionate leaders can pursue to help their entire church get “unstuck” from frustrating or ineffective ministries and move forward together to love their neighbors.

Are you ready?
