Belief Statements:

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FAITH COMMUNITIES WORKING TOGETHER

We strive to listen when God is speaking, and act boldly together to make a difference in our community. We build collaborations across boundaries of religious differences, as well as with community organizations, to do the work we are called to do. WE BELIEVE IN NURTURING THE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL IN EVERY CHILD

We focus our collaborative efforts on building supports around and creating opportunities for children and families. WE BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE HAVE EQUAL VALUE AND ARE LOVED BY GOD

We seek justice for those who are not treated equally or given equal value by our broken world. We strive to lift up the unique gifts and abilities of people and empower them to be who they were made to be. WE BELIEVE IN EQUIPPING ONE ANOTHER TO CREATE STRONG HOUSES OF WORSHIP

We build relationships among clergy and people of faith, and support and encourage one another. We provide information, resources, and connections to enhance the work of congregations, ministries, and community organizations.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for Potomac Bank / BCT Cares Foundation's incredible donation of $30,000 (wow!) to our Micah’s Backpack program from their annual Pack The Pack fundraiser. This equates to more than 15,000 meals for children in our community. Their donation is outstanding and their total fundraising of over $120,000 for FOUR backpack programs (3 in WV) boggles our minds. But what’s truly remarkable to us is how hard the entire Potomac Bank team worked to achieve this and how much each of them deeply cares about ensuring that no child goes hungry. THANK YOU, Potomac Bank!! 💖

A night of food, faith and love, and a microcosm of what our world could be - full of peace and joy.

Amazing hospitality at all three houses of worship.

A huge thank you to our community partners Fiserv and the Elk's Lodge for collecting and distributing 3,512 individual servings of peanut butter (439 boxes of eight) + 1,396 individual cracker sleeves for Micah's Backpack! Fiserv collected all the food and delivered it to the Elk's Lodge, where members sorted the food by individual Micah's Backpack sponsors and distributed it. What a great partnership and community effort! 💖
