Interested in engaging more deeply with your community? Heart for the City will come to a city near you! Our Engage Weekends are designed to help you discover the needs in your local community and apply Biblical and practical solutions to meet those needs. We want to give you the tools to exegete the neighborhood you call home. Through Doc Fuder’s Neighborhood Mapping curriculum, you will experience a unique training opportunity that is discussion-oriented, church-centered, and follow-up focused. These are not limited to the Chicago-area. We travel anywhere in the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast and anywhere in between. We would love to visit your ministry, church, or para-church!
