Upcoming workshops:
Harnessing the Faith Community’s Assets for Social Impact
August 7, 2024
10 am – Program
Register via Zoom
The USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture presents a webinar for faith leaders seeking to address critical community issues like housing and homelessness through their congregations.
Many congregations own substantial multi-generational assets and function as trusted intermediaries for civic engagement. They are asset-rich, with real estate, tithes and offerings contributed to furthering the mission and maintenance of the institution. Congregations are also enriched by the talents, gifts, skills, experience and expertise of members and their networks in the wider community.
Still, historic and continued structural inequities limit their access to capital and development support. These often “land-rich, cash-poor” organizations are unable to adequately utilize their assets to address many of the systemic concerns in their communities. This webinar will share creative and imaginative ways to harness the power of a congregation’s assets for a greater social impact.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Pastors, clergy, lay leaders in congregations, faith and nonprofit organizations. You will get an introduction to a transformational program that we hope to bring to Los Angeles.

Attention, Faith and Community Leaders:
CRCC’s inspirational leader Rev. Dr. Cecil L. Murray has always taught that congregations should help people with their spiritual AND social condition. By attending and sharing these webinars, you can help people gain tools to meet their financial and life goals.
As Rev. Murray says, it’s not enough to give people a fish or even teach them to fish; we must teach them how to own the pond.
Presenters will share information, resources and general strategies for economic empowerment. The presentation is not intended to be investment advice or personal financial counseling. Seek a duly licensed professional for advice.
