In 2015, the County initiated a dialogue with local church leaders to strengthen partnerships and serve vulnerable populations. Meetings resulted in a Faith-Based Partnership with local churches and church leaders to collectively identify and address the needs of residents in Douglas County. The Board of Douglas County Commissioners welcomes the participation of all our local faith communities to participate on one of our active projects.
Have you been looking for meaningful ways to give back to your neighbors experiencing hardship? We invite you to join Douglas County’s Faith-Based Roundtables. Roundtables offer a unique opportunity for people of all faiths to come together and take actionable steps towards making a lasting impact in the lives of community members.
People from all faiths are welcome!
The next Roundtable of 2025 will be on Thursday, August 21, location TBD. If you have questions, please email [email protected]
