Many church leaders across the US and here in Virginia are exploring how their property might be transformed from being underutilized to being fruitful while simultaneously impacting their community for good. If this possibility sparks your interest, we hope that you will join us as we listen for God's voice, direction, and guidance together.
Learn more about the feasibility study that was completed recently by master-level student, Chris Yensen, in partnership with Georgetown University and non-profit, Sanctuary AP3. This study is a conceptual exploration of what could be created at Community of Faith UMC.
Over the past six months, the Leadership Board has been discerning the best way to utilize our resources, including our property and grounds. After prayer, learning, and a good deal of discussion, we believe God is leading us to create affordable housing on our property in partnership with Dr. Bob Cristiano and his non-profit, Sanctuary AP3. We believe we could fill a gap that exists for teachers, first responders, nurses, those nearing retirement (55+), etc. who are working, contributing members of our community, but cannot afford to live here! Before formally entering into this partnership, we invited Dr. Bob to come and share more with the congregation. His presentation is below -- in case you missed this gathering!
