Local Impact: Initiatives.

Initiatives are considered the "seeds" of Project 10:27. They are based off of the needs within the community of Madison with which Blackhawk Church has connected, but in which there is no one serving on a regular basis. These are great for people who want to lead a team at the site and form a new and deeper connection with a group or organization in the community. The goal is for Initiatives to develop over time into Established Partnerships. Contact the Local Impact Team if you see one that you like!
