Activate your faith for community change
We are building a coalition of faith communities who want to use their talents and gifts to meet local needs and advocate for a more just, equitable, and sustainable community
Ignite positive change
Use your unique talents
Amplify collective impact
Bridge the gap between belief and action
In a world full of inequality, injustice, and environmental concerns, faith communities may feel a strong call to transform their beliefs into meaningful community engagement. Yet these communities face barriers; from overcoming doubts about their collective impact, uncertainty about how to start, or finding the best ways to translate shared faith into meaningful collective action.
Unleash the power of engaged faith
Imagine a community where faith isn’t a passive observance but a catalyst for positive change.
Where individuals are empowered to leverage their unique gifts and talents in service of their neighbours.
Contagious Hope specializes in guiding faith communities toward the right opportunities, enhancing collaboration, and addressing the systemic injustices that demand attention.
If you're unsure how to begin, we're here to assist. Together, we’ll build a strong movement for a just, equitable, and sustainable future.
"Contagious Hope has been instrumental in helping us to continue to develop vibrant outreach ministries and is inspiring us to advocate for social justice in our community."
