Our Mission

Motivated by God’s love, CMN exists to listen to and
advocate for our most vulnerable communities,
connecting community and sector leaders to work
collaboratively for maximum effect, so that all
families can thrive.

Our Vision

We exist to help our community become a good, safe place in which all people can grow up and grow old.

Our Promise

Through our supporters’ generosity we elevate vulnerable communities, connect partners and needs,
convene groups to create new solutions, and develop emerging leaders from every corner of the community to make it a great place for all people, for generations to come.

Our Values

Listen Intentionally

Pray Constantly

Lead Humbly

We seek out thoughtful input with respect and cultural competence, honor the perspective of the communities we serve, and believe wisdom and solutions are “in the room.”

We prioritize prayer, “follow the Wild Goose” with curiosity, look for opportunities to build lasting change, and seek wisdom—not walking ahead of God’s leading and provision.

We are servant leaders who support the success of others, put the people we serve and their needs above our own, hold lightly to our preferences, and stand firm on our convictions.

UNIFY AUTHENTICALLY

ACT COURAGEOUSLY

MULTIPLY WISELY

We encourage each other, build kinship and camaraderie, work through disagreements efficiently, facilitate efforts well, and collaborate for the common good.

We take full ownership of our roles, use our gifts and callings in innovative ways, rally supporters, and make decisions that steward our resources and further the ministry.

We seek out the “person of peace” in each sector and community, raise leaders to be
champions for their neighbors, and invest in them to multiply efforts and keep CMN right-sized.
