About CVEM

Our Mission – We proclaim the Good News of God in Christ by engaging Episcopalians and our neighbors in the Chattahoochee Valley to learn, connect, and act to fight inequity and build strong communities.

Our Vision – All people in the Chattahoochee Valley reap the benefits of strong communities that advance racial and cultural equity, further economic security, and provide care and concern for those who are suffering.

Our Commitments

  • Episcopal Values – Our work is grounded in the Baptismal Covenant with a commitment to seek and serve Christ in all persons, strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.
  • Multi-Generational – Our work must be multi-generational in order to cultivate change among present and future stewards of our communities.
  • Inclusive – We invite people into reflection and learning and meet them where they are, using language that is accessible and non-judgmental.
  • Servant Leadership – We believe servant leadership requires a posture of listening and following the leadership of people that are directly impacted by the challenges we seek to address.
  • Cultural Humility – We are proud of our Episcopal faith and seek to share that identity with others in cross-cultural dialogue. We practice cultural humility by understanding how our faith and other identities shape our perspectives and practices in specific ways that may not be shared by all people.
  • Personal Transformation – We seek personal transformation because we understand that we cannot change systems or people around us without ourselves also changing. We actively commit to learning and growing as part of our commitment to community change.

Our Strategic Priorities

  • Learn – CVEM provides learning opportunities to reflect on and discuss racism, poverty and other root causes of suffering and crisis in our communities.
  • Connect – Relationships across difference are the building blocks of strong communities; CVEM builds on its solid track record of partnership with other organizations to provide powerful interfaith, intercultural, and multi-racial programming.
  • Act – CVEM develops partnerships with community-based organizations to provide direct service to people in crisis and respond to community priorities. By seeking partnerships in community, CVEM has the opportunity to be more responsive, more accountable, and more proactive in its service and advocacy efforts. At the same time we create more opportunities for youth and adult volunteers to meaningfully participate in service and advocacy work that is guided by community members.

CVEM serves the Chattahoochee Valley through:

  • direct assistance ministry to persons in poverty and/or crisis
  • intercultural art program for children
  • a youth leadership program
  • education classes, workshops, communication pieces, and resources on various areas of social justice
