Our Mission
Building partnerships to build better communities.
Center for Global Diplomacy is the charitable initiative and DBA of Churches In One Accord, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit NGO. We practice diplomacy by organizing people, institutions, and resources around the conditions that shape everyday life.
Our mission is to cultivate an expanding ecology of organizations and initiatives addressing economic opportunity, education, healthcare, faith, government, social, and civic needs in urban and rural communities. We help service providers build the capacity to solve problems, reduce disparities, and make practical investments in people and places too often left without access.
“Diplomacy begins at home and spreads abroad.”
