We are:

A conduit that connects "spheres of influence" for the purpose of mobilizing unused potential.

SENTralized Communities of Faith is a network of faith-based communities, non-profit organizations, philanthropic thinkers and individuals, called "spheres of influence," which share information and resources in order to bring about community transformation.  The resources necessary to bring about this community-altering change are already here. There are countless organizations and individuals that are willing to help; but fear, personal grudges and agendas hold us back from moving lock-step. It is up to us to activate our potential.

Churches working together...

Most of the efforts of this organization have been centered around the church community. In our culture, the church is a place that many seek refuge and assistance. In this way, churches have an awesome opportunity to reach out to the community. Many of them are looking for the most effective methods for outreach.

SENTralized hopes to maximize the impact that churches, faith organizations, businesses and individuals can have in the community by connecting, reinforcing and mentoring leaders. SENTralized is not a religious organization and is open to people of all religious and spiritual backgrounds.

Mobilizing people as necessity for change...

The purpose of SENTralized is to "mobilize circles of influence toward alleviating suffering."  Many people belong to churches, organizations or other types of social groups, but have yet to see where their potential can take them.  If we hope to make the vast changes necessary to restore hope to our communities, then we will have to energize and engage these people within their social sphere. How can we best mobilize this untapped energy? SENTralized works to accomplish this through mentoring leaders both in and out of churches or organizations.

Truth be told…we have yet to see how this can work out, but we are willing to remain in wonder as it continues to grow.
