The Center for Rural Strategies is currently engaged in a multi-year project to document the novel and long-established ways rural congregations serve their communities.

Through audio storytelling, documentary work, and written stories, Rural Strategies aims to show how rural faith communities can bring people together, serve as anchors in small towns and the countryside, and help drive solutions for rural America’s biggest challenges. The project also aims to convene faith leaders and their congregations — to listen, to learn, and to support relationships within and across communities.

Leveraging its core programs, the Daily Yonder and Rural Assembly, Rural Strategies seeks not just to document how faith congregations can help rural communities but also serve as a connection point for people across the country. Sign up for rural faith news, stories, and events here.
