Discover how churches across the Rio Texas Conference are reclaiming their neighborhoods as sacred ground through Homegrown Shalom — a transformational journey of listening, community partnership, and Spirit-led imagination.

This video introduces the heart of the Homegrown Shalom training: a yearlong cohort experience where churches learn simple, powerful practices for seeing their community with new eyes, building relationships that matter, shifting from scarcity to abundance, and joining God’s dream of wholeness right where they are.

Whether your congregation is large or small, rural or urban, thriving or tired — Homegrown Shalom equips ordinary people to cultivate extraordinary change in the places they call home.

If your church longs for deeper connection, clearer purpose, renewed community engagement, or a more hopeful way to serve your neighbors, we invite you to prayerfully consider joining the 2026 cohort.

Applications for Homegrown Shalom 2026 are now open.
