Faith was never meant to be lived in isolation. At Guilford Park, we believe that following Christ calls us beyond our own walls—into partnership with others who are working to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for creation, and pursue justice and dignity for all of God's people. The organizations below are partners in that calling. Each affiliation reflects a conviction we hold dear: that the Church is at its best when it joins hands with neighbors near and far, bearing witness to God's love through action. We are proud to stand alongside these groups as we live out our mission—united in Christ, growing in faith and love, welcoming all, and serving one another and our community.
