Parkway United Church of Christ is involved with the following organizations:
CHANGE
Communities Helping All Neighbors Gain Empowerment
CHANGE is made up of faith-based organizations,
neighborhood groups and other interested groups.
CHANGE is one of the 57 affiliates of the oldest
and largest community organizing networks in the United States, the
Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF).
CHANGE is committed to building a stronger community by developing
relationships across racial, ethnic, economic, political, social, and
religious lines.
CHANGE is not a movement, a protest group, a
political action committee or a service organization. We do not run
programs, endorse candidates or take government money. But what we do is
to cultivate the skill of our local leaders by identifying shared
concerns and needs so that we may act together for the common good.
