Faith in Community 

A learning journey that invites us to intentionally live out our mission in community.

Faith in Community is a course inspired by IHQ's Learning Pathways and adapted for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda Territory. This facilitated cohort experience invites participants to connect with self, with one another, and with the wider community, helping participants move from learning about mission to living mission in their community.

Using Faith in Community in Your Corps

Participants will reflect on theology, practice listening to community voices, and identify practical next steps for mission in their corps. Faith in Community is flexible and can be used in several ways, including:

• Small group or Bible study series
• Corps Mission Board learning journey
• Leadership development for ministry leaders or volunteers

Each format encourages participants to reflect on scripture, share experiences, and explore how God is already at work in their community.
