Interfaith Engagement

At its heart, Associated Ministries is a partnership, one that is grounded on the idea of uniting people of faith to work for the common good — bridging theological differences by putting love into action. Over the years we’ve made a real difference through a commitment to partner with people of faith AND people of goodwill, journeying together on a mission to realize community transformation.

People of faith are those who have been called to love their neighbors in the most difficult circumstances, acting as agents of healing, restoration, and peace-building. At Associated Ministries we are committed to serving as a convener of people of faith – and our community at large – inspiring all comers to be more deeply involved in strengthening our community, seeking the common good for everyone, focused on the flourishing of the most vulnerable among us.

 

Mission: To inspire, unify, and mobilize communities of faith and goodwill to reduce poverty and homelessness, while centering equity and advocating for system change.

 

The Vision of Associated Ministries is a community:

  • united and transformed by the common love shared by all people of faith and goodwill;
  • that embodies equity, humanity, peace and justice;
  • where all are housed, healed and whole.

 

Associated Ministries has energized people of faith and people of goodwill to serve vulnerable families and young people in our community for nearly 50 years, and we’ve seen many lives changed and communities empowered throughout Tacoma and Pierce County during the years. We’ve witnessed social, physical and spiritual healing for those suffering from poverty. It is possible when we dare to believe… and then act. Please join us in this exciting journey!
