The Cobb Faith Partnership has played an active role in the community through various efforts; please find a listing of activities/accomplishments below:
- Organized a multi-organizational task force responsible for the successful Faith Based Forum & Summit in May 2003 to discuss faith-based funding support, case management and service support tools, and networking opportunities for area faith-based organizations. This event was the forerunner to our Annual Small Ministries Making a Big Difference forum.
