This Contact List exists to help people find ways to develop personal or collective rhythms that bring their faith to bear on the places they live, work, and play.

RHYTHMS & CONTACTS

  • Restorative Justice

    Englewood is working to implement a Restorative Justice Program because it allows the community to play a larger role in the justice process. The program is a system of criminal justice that focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large.

  • City Council: Encourage & Confront

    When we launched our church, we started a tradition of occasionally showing up to City Council Meetings and encouraging them during the Public Comment section. Yes, we occasionally confront them on issues that we believe negatively impact us and our neighbors but this is always couched in encouraging them for their hard work and dedication.
