Helping someone move from crisis to long-term change feels overwhelming, messy, and complicated.
At the Chalmers Center, we know how difficult benevolence ministry can be. We’ve studied best practices from poverty experts and learned from experience serving in our own churches. Over time, we’ve found out what works—and what doesn’t—so you don’t have to.
Through Helping Without Hurting In Benevolence Ministry Training, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to apply a biblical framework for poverty alleviation to your benevolence ministry.
Together with like minded leaders, you’ll discover tools to respond to people’s needs effectively, help them experience lasting change, and recognize who God created them to be!
