Become a Chalmers Champion today.

Help bring practical economic development programs based on biblical principles to struggling communities so that all people are restored to flourishing participants in God’s kingdom.

You can’t fix material poverty overnight. True transformation requires long-term relational ministry.

For more than 20 years, The Chalmers Center has been leading the way to help God’s people around the world understand that poverty is more than a lack of material goods and creating effective programs to help them walk alongside their neighbors in material poverty in ways that lead to flourishing in the four key relationships with God, self, others, and creation.

We’re working to change the way Christians approach poverty alleviation, but we need YOUR help.

“We valued our partnership with Chalmers for many years because they’re a hidden hand behind a lot of our relationships. We have dozen of local partners and many of them have been shaped by Chalmers and use Chalmers programs today.”

“We use Chalmers tools because they do such a beautiful job of explaining ‘why’ God’s kingdom and vision operates the way it does — meeting everyone right where they’re at.”

Sara Hawk

“We have people coming together to teach biblical values and finances to a group of people who are incarcerated—this wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for the work that Chalmers has done.”

Tammy Franklin

“Partnering with Chalmers is single-handedly the best thing that has ever happened to our life missions ministry.”

Jon Mays

“We adopted Chalmers principles in how we approach our community development activities, training and tools—over 10 years later, everything we do speaks back to these principles.”

Lara Lambert

“Our partnership with The Chalmers Center is a match made in heaven. We have much in common— certainly expanding God’s Kingdom. There are a lot of churches and thousands of people we can help, but how will we scale it? You have the perfect way at Chalmers.”
