Discern

During the Discern phase, Abundant Ground helps your congregation:

  • Discern whether you have the time, energy, and calling to pursue housing development

  • Assess the community's specific housing needs and how your congregation's land can address those needs

  • Answer preliminary questions specific to your church, guiding your discernment as you explore housing development options aligned with your mission

Are you ready for a congregational housing initiative?

Houses of worship can play vital role to play in the intertwined crises of housing affordability and social isolation. Faith leaders and parishioners know their world is changing, and faithful people have a heart to respond. Sensing an invitation from God to be agents of healing and peace, they’re seeking to deepen their discipleship and make a real difference. 

Do we have the time, energy, and calling to pursue housing development? How can we effectively discern and engage in housing policies that impact community and development?
