Abstract

How can Collierville United Methodist Church wholistically address the spiritual yearnings of mind, body, and soul of those in the church's immediate neighborhoods by sharing God's incarnational love through community development, while at the same time revitalizing the intentional discipleship of the congregation? The author embarked on a community development project, bringing together the congregation, neighborhood and community churches, and four targeted neighborhoods in Collierville, TN, creating a coalition: Collierville Connected. Spiritual and leadership development were emphasized in every team meeting. Surveys conducted determined possible goals for the coalition, the first resulting in the opening of a Neighborhood Resource Center.
