Welcome to Our New Website!

As we celebrate our 25th year as Charlotte’s only interfaith organization, we are thrilled to unveil our new website. Although we have a new look and a new logo, our mission remains the same: to build interfaith collaboration, increase racial and ethnic understanding and address the social issues of our community.

Davies

As you explore our new website, you’ll discover that we’ve not only updated our look, but we’ve reorganized our information so it is easier for you to find and use. Our new features allow you to:

• Quickly subscribe to our newsletter, connect with us on Facebook, and make a donation using easy-to-find links in the left-hand menu.
• Learn more about our member congregations by linking directly to their websites.
• Easily purchase our award-winning DVDs and curricula in one central location.
• View our upcoming events in list form and on our color-coded calendar. (Note: to submit an event for our monthly newsletter, please look under News & Press.)

Hutchinson

These are just a few of the new features we are excited to introduce. We encourage you to fully explore our new website and let us know what you think by leaving a comment on our blog page.

Lastly, we give special thanks to Bob Davies of Candescence for volunteering his expertise and leadership during our rebranding process and Michael Hutchinson of Hutch Advertising for his creative design of our new logo. These two men and their firms have given countless hours, insights and wisdom, and we are so grateful! We can never repay them for all their time. If you need to redo your mission, tag line or logo, there is no one we more highly recommend than Bob and Hutch. They are a delight to work with.

We also thank Barbara Busey of Presentation Dynamics and Larry Taylor of Adlar Internet for their tireless efforts to help us produce our new website. We are grateful for their dedication and hard work.
