Our Origin Story
The United Faith Coalition was founded to address the growing need to build the capacity
of churches as drivers of systems change, community development, and leadership
pipelines. UFC operates as an ecosystem builder—connecting churches with the
resources, partnerships, and infrastructure needed to scale their impact and increase
readiness to steward large-scale public and private investment. At its core, UFC exists to
protect and strengthen churches as enduring community anchors.

UFC Board of Directors
Pastor Geremy Dixon
Board President | Center of Hope
I am passionate about UFC because I have seen churches do extraordinary work with limited resources, and this movement exists to equip them to scale their impact with strength and sustainability.

I have always believed that Christian leaders should be at the helm of community development, change and advocacy. The United Faith Coalition provides space for those like me who care about providing spiritual guidance along with resources to better support our communities.
