Helping churches transform neighbourhoods through public square engagement.
Would you like to see the church better impact the life of your community? Jesus calls your church to have a public faith that naturally engages and contributes to public life. In Civic we explore the role of the local church in engaging civic leaders and institutions for the benefit of your neighbourhood.
