Our Web site is constructed in two discreet navigational sections.  The first section is across the top of the Web page, designated by the words "join," "events," "find," and "contact."

Each of these sections of our Web site are opportunities for you, the Website visitor, to interact with the ELCA or any number of congregations that have self-identified as "organizing" congregations.  These sections of the Web site are described in brief below.
 

Provides congregations with the opportunity to be listed on our Web site a self-identified community organizing congregation.	Previews and gives dates and times of a variety of events and other opportunities to meet with other faith-based organizing leaders and hear inspirational speakers.	Offers a dynamic, searchable database of congregations which have self-identified as organizing congregations.  Additional links offer more information about the congregation and the national bodies with which they may be affiliated.	Gives valuable contact information for organizing leaders here at the ELCA, and throughout the church.

The second way in which you might explore this new Web resource is by using the lefthand column.  This column's menu contains different ways in which you might learn more about congregation-based community organizing.

The different sections contained within this part of the Web site highlight the best articles, videos, presentations and other engaging media that discuss faith-based organizing.  These sections are each described in brief below.

 

Exactly what is this thing we call "congregation-based community organizing?"  This collection of well-written articles, sermons, and speeches addresses that very question. You will find that many of these articles inspire ideas and spark unique approaches to empowerment rather than provide concrete answers.	This wide variety of articles discusses some of the broad topics and unique approaches to community organizing.	More than written-word, this section tries to provide Web visitors with rich and engaging media around community organizing.  This includes videos produced by the ELCA and other organizations.  It also includes presentations that visitors may browse online, or download for their use.	Want to be alerted when new information becomes available on the ELCA's organizing Web site?  This is an opportunity to become part of an email list that will receives alerts when important new information is made available online.  Also explore fun and unique ways of staying connected to the ELCA with RSS and Web feeds.
