Jesus Was a Changemaker–Your Congregants Can Be Too

Leaders – The Changemaker Initiative
In a complex, broken world, how can people of faith turn their beliefs into real, loving, and impactful action? Join us to explore the practical ways in which Jesus was the ultimate changemaker, positively impacting the individuals and communities he encountered. We’ll cover 4 Principles of Changemaking, embodied throughout the Gospels, that can empower and inspire your congregation to be effective changemakers in their own community. You’ll see the actions of Jesus with fresh eyes and leave with a clear vision of how to apply the changemaking principles in your own life, church, and community.
