Self-Development of People (SDOP) Workshop

Drawing from the wisdom imparted from communities and the work connected with the Presbyterian Committee on the Self Development of People, this workshop will look at how communities have much to teach us about the importance of relationship building.

This interactive workshop will also equip participants with missional strategies centered around community organizing to create and leverage congregational/communal power in engaging issues in the local church and community through direct action and advocacy.

Using asset mapping, biblical and intersectional understandings of justice, and our theological tradition, the workshop is also designed to encourage relationship, partnerships, networking, and community building among participants.

One aspect of this workshop will focus on salient issues of poverty eradication and systemic change in a post-COVID world.
