“Community renewal, inc. Seeks to mobilize the body of christ to bring healing, development, and the good news to the community of tucson, especially the poor, marginalized, vulnerable and broken. The organization is responsive to the needs of the community, and so offers different courses and seminars within each major program area from time to time. Collaboration: in accomplishing these purposes we are working on collaboration without compromise. If we work with a secular group, we would need to have common purposes but not common beliefs. This would have to be defined before we start into the collaborative partnership or relationship and mutual respect established. We also dare to teach others how to do collaboration without compromise within the community. Many of the afflictions of our community cannot be resolved without a broad range of contributors to the solutions needed. For the faith community they would have to have individuals with mature identities and mature group identities, so they are not seduced by money, sex, power, arrogance, pride and/or position. The goal would be to remain loyal to the god of the bible and all that he is, but accepting of diverse beliefs in collaboration.

Individual and family counseling is offered, as well as classes on relational skills and seminars on family issues. We are also working to help establish healthy counselors, and counseling agencies in our community. Consulting: much of the service rendered is consulting with other leaders and organizations. We are under many demands to respond to the needs in this area and try to be responsive to those needs the best we can. We have also started consulting in other cities. Neighborhood involvement: the organization sponsors meetings to help churches/businesses/ government within the public, private, and social sectors catch a vision of how they can get involved in the needs of their neighborhoods and develop more of a parish ministry with some of the "under-resourced" in our community. * weekly meetings are held with leaders in the community. Those meetings have to do with collaboration and networking over problems and issues concerning the well-being of the community. These meetings are with leaders from business, government, domain leaders, and the faith community. This is where most consulting takes place. * classes and seminars are offered on community issues and development. * the organization facilitates a monthly para-church meeting called the tucson coalition of compassion ministries. * community renewal participates in an annual prayer summit with pastors. * we are always working on leadership development for new and existing nonprofit organizations. * one of the areas we are working on is volunteerism with college students and retirees. * we have been working to help the poor of our community, through relief and empowerment.
