CWC awarded 27 grants in 2025 alone.

From youth mentorship to nutrition education to family stability programs, congregations and community partners across Indiana are creating real change together.

Who is CWC?

Congregations with Community exists to bring congregations and community partners together around one shared purpose: creating stronger communities across Indiana.

We believe real transformation happens through relationships, collaboration, and collective action — not by working alone.

Our vision is simple:
More partnerships.
More connection.
More impact.

Because when communities come together, change becomes possible.

Neighborhood service and the celebration of moms are two pursuits we can get behind! Congratulations to this wonderful community on a fantastic gathering.

We love to see it! Our thanks to Still Waters Adult Day Center for sharing this wonderful story and for working with us to support older adults in the community!
