The Center on Faith in Communities office is committed to providing practical, relevant assistance to Christian ministry practitioners. To accomplish this, we offer three forms of technical assistance:
Our Frequently Asked Questions section describes common inquiries
made to us and provides our responses. The FAQ section also includes
links to additional helpful resources
If the answer to your question
is not available in the FAQ section, we invite you to use our second
form of assistance. You can complete our short Technical
Assistance Request Form and submit it to our office. Your request will be
analyzed and then directed to the staff member best qualified to
respond. If providing the help you need requires a significant amount
of staff time, we ask that you agree to complete a brief evaluation
form after our technical assistance is provided. (If this is the
case, a staff member will contact you.) In most instances, we will
respond to your request by email; in some cases, we will provide
a free telephone consultation.
PLEASE NOTE: Our office is not equipped
to provide advice on local funding opportunities for individual
faith-based organizations, nor does the CFIC office respond to requests
for financial assistance to FBOs.
For organizations needing more in-depth
or on-going technical assistance, we offer a third form of TA:
fee-for-service professional consulting (by phone or on-site). Requests
for professional consultations by Dr. Amy Sherman can be submitted
to info@centeronFIC.org
