Cobb Faith Partnership's Noted Accomplishments

  • New! Due in part to CFP’s educational efforts, The Cobb Collaborative has allocated funding to provide 1-year FREE ACCESS to the Pathways Database Management System which will allow smaller churches and ministries that qualify access to the internet-based client management system. An initial training for those churches and ministries was held November 15th at The Center for Family Resources, with other sessions to be scheduled based on need and available funding.

  • New! CFP was instrumental in the formation of Cobb Disaster Recovery, a group helping local victims of recent floods in July 2005. CFP continues to encourage churches and ministries to get involved. For more information on the Cobb Disaster Recovery group, visit this link.

  • The first Member Services Listing was completed in March 2005 – all CFP voting representatives attending at least one CFP-related Meeting in 2005 received a copy. The most recent edition was distributed at our December 14th Annual Meeting & Holiday Celebration (We are seeking Cobb Based churches and ministries to be included in the next edition scheduled for early 2006 - complete our online form here today to be included!)

  • Following the success of Our "Small Ministries Making a Big Difference" forum held last August 12th at Kennesaw State University, this spring’s event held on May 3rd at Marietta First Presbyterian Church was a overwhelming success with over 100 attendees, 20 displays from churches and ministries, and opportunity to hear and interact with speakers from several ministries to discover ways of collaborating and partnering with them. Overall CFP membership has increased to over 100 members, and plans for our 3rd event is underway! Also, the Regional Council of Churches of Atlanta adopted CFP's format when they hosted a similar event in South Atlanta in April 2005!

  • CFP continues to streamline its email and website communications with a major revision of both mediums: The CFP eLists were split into 3 separate lists, and CFP's website went through its first major revision since the merger of CAP and SWCFC almost 2 years ago. Surveys continue to gather information giving guidance on how to further improve the eLists and the website. Consequently, CFP has committed to allocate funds to continuously improve both avenues of communication for the benefit of all CFP stakeholders.

  • Our Geographical Teams are taking off - three teams are meeting on a regular basis (SW Cobb, Marietta Central, NE Cobb), and NW Cobb will host meetings very soon. The SW Team has many successful projects under their belt: staffing both the SE and SW Cobb Sectors in the Cobb Human Services Coalition Point in Time Count of the Homeless, hosting a Prayer Vigil, sending care packages to US soldiers stationed overseas, recruiting youth groups to participate in National Youth Services Day activities, and heading up efforts to support groups providing shelter and services to homeless and needy in the SW Cobb area.

  • Cobb Faith Partnership is continuing to assist the Cobb Community Collaborative and the KSU AL Burruss Institute with their County-wide survey of the social service community which will include area churches and ministries’ responses gathered from 2002-present. To participate in our survey, please visit this link.

  • General meetings continue to average 30 in attendance, with strong programmatic and informational sessions spotlighting various areas of ministry such as Health Issues & Services, Women & Children's Issues, Financial Assistance, Database Management Issues, and Local Flood Recovery efforts. A special session with Cobb Chairman Sam Olens was held in August 2005.
