Description of Organization
The Chalmers Center at Covenant College helps shape the way churches and
Christian nonprofits think about and respond to poverty.
We seek to equip Christians to address the broken relationships at the root of
material poverty through:
A biblical approach to poverty—Helping people in material poverty isn't
just about giving them stuff. It's about healing the brokenness at the
roots through Jesus' Christ reconciliation of all things to Himself (Col.
1:20).
Resources for ministry—We offer field-tested tools to help churches and
ministry teams think differently about poverty—and do something about it.
Practical training—We equip churches and organizations to improve existing
ministry programs or launch new ones using our proven curriculum.
