Ways to get involved

Welcome, friends! Through this new publication, we provide a little background on the work we do and invite you to come alongside us to build loving, healthy communities.

Health programs, education, and access to care play big roles in people's health and wellbeing. But what makes the biggest difference is whether they have justice, connection, hope, trust, belonging, and spiritual vitality in their neighborhood —all the things we teach and practice in our faith communities.

This work is big. But we can do it together—as Companions. Learn how on the following pages.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Who We Are

Our core belief: Drawing on the wisdom of our religious traditions and the best social and public health science, we believe that positive, mutual relationships and the intentional practice of faith are at the heart of what creates equitable health and well-being for individuals, congregations and communities.
