Webinar | “Growing Together – Equipping Churches to Tackle Food Injustice with Community-Based Gardens”
This webinar will explore how congregations can respond to the pressing challenge of food insecurity by establishing and sustaining community gardens as transformative ministries. Drawing from my book, From Soil to Soul: The Impact of Community Gardens on Food Insecurity, participants will discover how faith communities can become hubs of health, justice, and spiritual renewal. Participants will leave equipped with actionable strategies to cultivate congregational vitality, foster community engagement, and embody the Gospel through faithful stewardship of the land.
