The Ormond Center will host its second Church and Community Placemaking Lab Closing Celebration to recognize nine cohort churches that have reimagined how their spaces and assets can be leveraged to impact their communities.

The Church and Community Placemaking Lab is a yearlong initiative that helps churches to cultivate community partnerships and find solutions for their local contexts that make the biggest impacts. The 2024-2025 cohort brought nine new churches into the Ormond Center's orbit, bringing the total churches we've journeyed alongside to 17. Join the Ormond Center as church members share their initiatives and how they will work to impact their communities as agents of thriving.
