HOPE

Our vision is to see followers of Christ leverage their influence to make a difference in the lives of those being exploited, responding effectively to human trafficking in our community. Whether you are a pastor, a church member, a business owner, an educator, a social worker, a student…YOU can make a difference! Partner with us by identifying and reporting victims, preventing trafficking, and taking part in bringing transformation to our region.

ACTION

Freedom Churches are faith communities who partner with the Coalition. They are committed to addressing human trafficking from a collaborative perspective, rooted in the belief that all individuals have inherent worth as image-bearers of God.

The Coalition has been mobilizing and equipping churches since we began in 2010. There are so many ways that you and your community can get involved!

Need more info or want someone to contact you? Please email info@cvjusticecoalition.com.

Our commitment to partner churches:

1. Communicate about regional human trafficking issues & news

2. Provide Opportunities for prayer, education, prevention, ways to serve and lead

3. Resource and Support those affected by human trafficking; victims, survivors, families, advocates

4. Educate and Consult with church members, leaders, groups- this includes speaking at one event or providing one training annually by request

Freedom Churches work to:

1. Identify a Coalition Representative and build a team!

2. Participate in Freedom Sunday For more info, see our Freedom Sunday page

3. Pray for CVJC and human trafficking issues (take advantage of CVJC prayer opportunities and our prayer guide.)

4. Partner financially. Many churches commit to monthly support through their local missions budget, while others offer an annual gift or take a special offering during Freedom Sunday.

5. Build a safe culture in your faith community for victims, survivors, and their families. We would love to consult with you about how to do this!
