Phenix City's Communities of Transformation

Phenix City's Communities of Transformation Our Philosophy
The typical North American definition of poverty is a lack of financial resources. COT defines poverty as a lack of resources.

Communities of Transformation - Our mission is to move families from surviving to thriving by developing personal leadership skills and authentic relationships. Because of this perspective, many churches and organizations seek to address poverty by giving financial assistance or material goods such as food and clothing. While this assistance may help alleviate suffering temporarily, it has not pro

ven to be an effective method for lifting people out of poverty. COT intentionally moves away from a transactional approach to poverty alleviation to a holistic and relational approach. These resources may be financial, relational, spiritual, physical, intellectual, or a combination. This holistic view of poverty drives our work. Each COT site provides its participants with the tools and the supportive relationships needed for them to identify their strengths, build their resource base, and achieve self-identified goals. COT provides under-resourced families with the information, skills, and support they need to create a new future story. COT seeks to walk WITH, not do FOR.
