Resilient Congregations

Resilient Congregations

 Awareness of trauma and it’s impact on behavior, learning, and decision-making is becoming an increasingly important component of service provision and intervention in education, mental health, social services, and health care. These services and interventions are said to be “trauma informed”. Rarely do we consider the impact of trauma on the people who are sitting in the pews of our churches Sunday after Sunday. Many well-meaning evangelistic and missional programs and initiatives for those outside the church walls fail to reach their full potential for lack of being trauma informed. Resilient Congregations address this important issue.


Trauma Informed: A Framework, Not A Model

Trauma Informed Ministry is a framework for doing ministry in a way that is sensitive to the real trauma that is experienced by the individuals and communities with whom we minister inside and outside of our congregations. Because it is a framework and not a model trauma informed ministry is completely contextual. While some churches may do similar things in doing trauma informed ministry, each congregation has the ability to adopt the framework in in a way that most appropriately fits their particular community and context.


What is a Resilient Congregation

Resilient Congregations apply the principles of trauma informed care, with respect to both individual and community trauma, in all of their ministries.

Resilient Congregations:

» Become familiar with both individual and community trauma

» Understand and apply the 4 R’s

» Incorporate the 6 principles of trauma informed care in entire life of the church

» Remain faithful to their particular context, even while changing their culture

» Meet regularly to review progress internally

» Participate in follow-up coaching with Resilient Congregations trainers

» Connect periodically with Resilient Congregations Network for follow-up 

Resilient Congregations create an atmosphere of genuine care, concern, and compassion. As a result may find themselves engaging ministry at any level; personal, congregational, community, policy or any combination of these levels of engagement.

Your church can be a Resilient Congregation!

From our friends at the Essie Justice Group - What it is like to have a loved one in jail or prison

We Can Help Your Church Become A Station of Hope

  

Healing Communities is a framework for a distinct form of ministry with families of incarcerated men and women, returning citizens from incarceration, those at risk of incarceration, and the larger community. Healing Communities challenges congregations through mobilization of its existing resources to become “Stations of Hope” for persons affected by the criminal-justice system. Resources that are helpful in ministries among those impacted by the criminal-justice system include the formal and informal networks of congregational life, and the Christian themes of forgiving, healing, redemption, reconciliation and justice. 

Healing Communities identifies basic components of action for congregations. Each action is built on existing strengths, all located within the existing mission and ministry structure of the local church.  

Healing Communities trains congregations to remove the shame and stigma associated with connection with the criminal justice system and become Stations of Hope for  people who are trying to live productive, fulfilling lives. 


Primary components
Primary components of Healing Communities are the following:

  • Stigma Reduction & a Welcoming, Supportive Atmosphere. The aim is to heighten awareness surrounding criminal justice, help the congregation reduce the sense of isolation and shame families feel over having incarcerated loved ones, and create a welcoming environment for returning citizens.
  • Congregations will be a source of strength for the family of the incarcerated and/or at risk persons through developing authentic relationships of care and providing a support group to walk with the family through the incarceration of their loved one and their return home.

5th Step Mnistry

Drug Court Sponsor

Drug Court Sponsor

 When it was time for me to do my 5th Step my sponsor sent me to a monastery to have a priest listen to my 5th Step and tell me about his own experience, strength, and hope in God and in the 12 Step program. Now it is my turn to give back.

Drug Court Sponsor

Drug Court Sponsor

 Sometimes the Judge in Drug Court will require you to have a sponsor with at least 5 years clean before your next appearance. If you have never been to a meeting before, or even if you have it can take some time for you to get to know someone well enough to know if they have the clean time AND you feel comfortable enough for them to be your sponsor. 

Police/Community Relations

Community Conversations for Change

Community Conversations for Change is a model for community engagement that seeks to help community stakeholders work together to arrive at just solutions to community concerns. Using the “Study Circles” model developed by Everyday Democracy, the Tyer Temple Justice Ministries team can train community members to facilitate Conversations for Change on the topic of community/police relations with the goal of arriving at achievable, mutually agreed upon next steps and solutions for community concerns.

How It Works - people from all over the community meet in small groups over the same period of time. Each group of about 12 -14 individuals is made up of a diverse group of stakeholders including, youth, law enforcement, community organizations, community leaders, faith leaders, and other interested citizens. The groups will meet separately for five sessions:


In Session 1, participants will …

Get to know each other.

Agree on how the study circle will run.

Learn how each person’s history has shaped how he or she thinks about police community relationships.


In session 2, participants will ...

Look at what is happening between the police and community.

Tell people what you think is going on.

Listen to what others think is going on.


In session 3, participants will …

Find out what the police and community expect from each other.


In session 4, participants will …

Explore how to make progress on these issues.


In session 5 participants will …
