PROJECT
FAQs
What is the hope for this project?
We see this project as a gift of legacy for future leaders who follow the way of Jesus to increase in clarity and collaboration from the work of listening and learning to the histories of Christianity in our city.
Why is this project important?
We see leaders who follow the way of Jesus in our city sharing a common faith, but lacking a shared narrative of the past and compassionate action in the present.
Why a 10-Year project?
A 10-year project is long enough to foster meaningful transformation in the lives of the leaders who participate and short enough to believe in the influence it could have in our city.
Who is leading this project?
This project is being led by co-chairs MiDian Holmes, Founder of The Epitome of Black Excellence & Partnership, and Jared Mackey, Executive Director of The Sacred Grace.
The project is being guided by a growing list of advisory and contributing Voices from a diverse group of leaders grounded in their Christian faith.
