Catalyst

Are you a natural networker and developer? Does your heart break for both the spiritual AND physical needs in your community? Do you want to help catalyze local, sustainable, Christ-centered transformation? You will direct efforts to identify and maximize local needs and assets, develop deep relationships across the community, build partnerships with local churches, schools, and businesses, and work together to find holistic solutions to community needs. The goal? That no one in the identified community would be invisible and everyone would have access to food, freedom, and forgiveness.
