Resilient Communities Center integrates spiritual formation with strengths-based learning to support human flourishing. We work with ministry workers, nonprofit and social impact staff, and community leaders through training, mentoring, and partnership, online and in person in metro Atlanta.

​

We are a ministry of The Navigators and a member of Discipling for Development, with programs in Clarkston, Decatur, and Stone Mountain.

WHAT WE OFFER

Online learning modules from $50 to $1,600, a 20-week Learning Community cohort at $3,000, Vision Casting workshops at $3,000, a seven-week Atlanta Internship at $2,500, a twelve-month Residency at $18,900, free mentoring groups in metro Atlanta, and Embodiment Coaching packages starting at $500.

​

Trauma-sensitive Group Movement classes meet every Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. in Clarkston, and a first class is $20.

​

All listed prices are assessed on a sliding-fee scale, and voucher scholarships are available.

Your team is not only impacting others but also becoming stronger and more supportive, all starting with you.

Imagine:

That is the story of human flourishing we believe every team can tell. A true story for you and your teams – your organization, neighborhood, family, and faith group.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Life can feel fragmented. Purpose can too. You need a story to reframe its complexity and nuance. Our team of facilitators at the Resilient Communities Center use storywork and embodied exercises, supporting you to identify areas in which you already thrive and grow your capacity in areas that you name as fragmented.

That is where mentoring comes in. Resilience is not just about bouncing back; it is about building an internal compass that guides your team forward, even when the path is unclear.

Understand

NAME WHAT IS HARD

Create a picture of relational flourishing for your life, safely name your pain points, and pursue self-awareness and self-agency with compassion.

Appreciate

BUILD ON WHAT IS WORKING

Use community-building rhythms for your life and team while discovering areas for formation through practical stories and illustrations.

Practice

TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOGETHER

Collaborate around goals that matter in your community, recognize your own contribution, and draw feedback from your peers.

INTENTIONAL COLLABORATION

Developing People through Discipleship

We have seen firsthand how cultivating inner strengths transforms good teams into exceptional ones, creating a ripple effect of sustainable success in the communities they serve.

 

Our training helps you adjust your individualized and specialized approaches to generate impact community-wide from program conception to evaluation, all while preserving spiritual formation as an embedded and embodied component.

CO-CREATING TOGETHER

You want your organization to provide relevant solutions to the areas of poverty within your teams or among your beneficiaries.

By partnering, we help you translate your existing programs through integrated learning, allowing your core outcomes to grow out of local relationships and shared knowledge already present in a community.

Let us help you create the space you and your community want to continue toward thriving. We partner with CAMA Relief and Development, Cultivate, Evangelical Friends Church, Friends of Refugees, Global Frontier Missions, Grace Village, and Steady Hope Counseling.

We believe flourishing is best accomplished when shared.

Our Core Lessons are free to anyone. Community, Coaching, and City Lessons are available to alumni of our learning cohorts and to our community partners, free to use and adapt.

  • Help others see the world in a new way. Encourage an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things.

  • Help others focus on what is working. Identify and build on the positive aspects of your life and community.

  • Help others make lasting change. Offer practical questions and tools to proactively engage your home, relationships, and community.

These materials serve as a foundation to understand God's intent for humans. We encourage you to continue your own formation around this mindset and invite others in this process.
