ABOUT US
The Organizing for Mission Network is a community of practitioners who are using the arts and skills of community organizing to develop and redevelop gospel-centric communities that act for the sake of the world.
​
​
Founded in 2010, OFM began as a collective of leaders focused on relationship building and the establishment of a culture of mutual accountability. In 2017, we transitioned to a broad-based, ecumenical network with members across the United States.
​
All our organizing work, trainings, and accompaniment focus on our three lenses:
​
-
Racial and Economic Equity is our Northstar
-
Place-based organizing where issues emerge from within the community
-
Organizing is a spiritual practice
​
​
Let's Build Together!
Folks use the skills and art of faith-based organizing in ways beyond running a campaign. Our leaders have supported congregations, communities, and wider church bodies in a variety of ways, including:
​
-
Board development
-
Fundraising (Organizing Money beyond begging and borrowing)
-
Developing equity strategies
-
Strategic Planning
-
Facilitation around property use
-
Spiritual and theological resources
-
Retreat and convocation leadership
-
Holy Closure conversations
-
Building solidarity with neighborhoods and communities
