Cobb Faith Partnership Success Stories & Testimonials

“The Cobb Faith Partnership (CFP) …(exemplifies) the way the faith community can work together to support each other and to meet the needs of God’s children where we find them. Every congregation is within a stone’s throw of people who need clothing, food, or housing, who are underserved by our system and who need both material goods, prayers, and advocates to speak for them in the public arena. (CFP) does a particularly effective job of researching and publicizing need, then seeking ways to help congregations and ministries meet those needs.

“The support CFP gives to participating (churches) is important as well. We can always do more, do what we do more effectively and in a more informed manner when we work together. CFP offers avenues for fellowship and mutual support for those who are in the front lines of serving the needs of Cobb County citizens.

“We at the Regional Council of Churches are pleased to be a part of CFP; part of our mission is to facilitate in other geographical areas in the region the kind of collaboration and communication we see the CFP supporting in Cobb County. We were inspired by CFP’s Small Ministries Fair (in August 2004) and have helped duplicate it in South Atlanta. Sixty ministries and agencies came together at the Atlanta Christian College last spring to inform, inspire, and connect with each other.

“(We express) our appreciation and admiration for the good work (CFP has) accomplished this year. Under (Kathy Grosskurth’s) leadership, the CFP has become a force in the community, and we pray for continued good governance for your fine organization. We send hearty congratulations on a job well done and prayers for many more years of good work (by CFP).”

“A big THANK YOU (for your involvement in the Point-in-Time Count for the Homeless)! The point-in-time project is very important to our community and takes many volunteers to make it happen. Your (organization’s) enthusiasm to step up, find sites, and survey the homeless has not gone unnoticed. Please … pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Look(ing) forward to working with you (again) in the future.

Employment/Education Services Manager, The Center for Family Resources

“I want to say … congratulations on spearheading the drive to Pathway accessibility (Remember, God does things in mysterious ways! ... though we may have one vision and believe things should happen a certain way.

I know it takes commitment and participation from members (for its success)...Thanks for all of your hard work in “birthing” this important group.
