How can you get fully equipped to care for your people and community?
Every church, nonprofit & school needs one.
It's something everyone should know how to do.
Well-implemented shared platforms are making it easy for all of us to get help, give help, and find a church that cares via our www.unite-dfw.org public-facing site.
​
Anyone can use these user-friendly platforms, but we've also developed a set of online training videos to make church staff and volunteers to more comfortable helping both your own people and your neighbors navigate the system.
This is what we call a "Navigator"
How to do more
Groups of experts and practitioners have been working to address every challenge to flourishing and have identified some great ways churches can make a big difference. If your church wants to do more to address any of the following issues, this is the next step on your way to being fully equipped to care for your people and community.
