How to Become an Interfaith Member

We welcome new members! Working together as people of many faiths, we change lives. Faith-based organizations of all sizes and beliefs find that partnering with Interfaith Coalition is a powerful way to help our neighbors in need. Not replacing individual programs, but working as one to do more, Interfaith Coalition is a path for your members to contribute in the greater community.

If your organization would like to be part of a positive and effective group committed to improving the lives of their neighbors in Whatcom County, please consider joining us. Members sign a Membership Covenant affirming their decision and affirming our mission.

OUR MISSION: Interfaith Coalition member congregations collaborate to fill gaps in human services and to meet housing and other needs of marginalized people.
