Our Vision
​
The vision of the Greater Dallas Coalition is to coalesce our network partners into a coordinated effort to transform our city by empowering our poorest communities to flourish. We seek to transform lives through partnerships and programs
DISCIPLE MAKING
The GDC engages churches and Christian non-profits in a wide net of disciple-making and leadership training options to individual transformation for multiple age ranges
STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR COMMUNITIES
The GDC will unite significant Christian services and NGO's and engage governmental services in resourcing and strengthen grassroots community initiatives for transformation.
PRAYER AND REVIVAL EXPERIENCES
The GDC will sponsor and/or promote community-wide prayer networks and events to dismantle the culture of poverty and infuse hope.
INDIVIDUAL TRANSFORMATION
Individual transformation represents connecting spiritual development, educational support, job training, entrepreneurial resources, personal, family counseling, and prisioner-entry services.
SOCIAL/CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
Social/Cultural transformation involves dismantling a culture of poverty in and through our community engagement.
COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION
Community Transformation entails developing, promoting and implementing a vision for a healthy, flourishing community that includes thriving schools, new businesses, parks and recreation, crime prevention, homeownership, and beautification.
OUR MISSION
The Greater Dallas Coalition is a collaborative, organic, missional movement established to transform the city of Dallas spiritually and socially. The Coalition functions as a confederation of churches and para-church organizations that demonstrate a Christ-centered, missional approach to South Dallas.
We equip Partner organizations that initiate spiritual and social transformation by providing outreach resources, leadership training, and program development. We define success as developing leaders who are committed to the area and the people who live here, ultimately looking for lives to be transformed by the true source of life and peace, Jesus Christ.
