Have you ever wondered about the circumstances that have brought individuals and families living in the inner city to their current situations?  Many of our volunteers have expressed a desire to do more to provide assistance beyond participating in the Sunday morning service and lunch.  Under the direction and leadership of our Pastoral Associate, Jim Gurnett, ICPM has developed a workshop program for our faith communities and volunteer organizations to explore how they can participate in social justice issues.

Jim Gurnett has a background of several decades of involvement in social justice within faith communities and the broader community.  Issues of focus for him have included immigration, refugees, poverty, homelessness and the environment.  The workshops led by Jim consist of a two-four hour period and cover topics such as how to do social analysis of an issue, how to develop a plan for appropriate action that will make a difference and how to evaluate your action.
