    You are invited to join us for our Monthly Member Office Hours!

    CCDA Member Office Hours are a monthly chance to connect with CCDA staff and other members. It's your time. Share what you are working on. Ask questions. Have conversations. Build community. It's an open forum to spend some time together with a few other members and connect. 

    For the month of September, we will explore the latest data on the undocumented population, including key demographic and geographic characteristics. We will also walk through an example of how to estimate population size at lower geographic levels, offering a practical look at how research and data can be applied to local strategies and decision-making.

    Drawing on more than 20 years of research experience, Dr. Connor, a researcher, will share practical insights on finding and using data that is timely, credible, and informed by community realities. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of the undocumented population and concrete approaches for turning data into meaningful engagement, strategy, and action.

    This is a session that you do not want to miss. Join us, September 24, 1:30pm EST.

    The Anabaptist Community Development Network (ACDN) is a national community of Anabaptist Christians (Mennonite, Quakers/Friends, Bruderhofs, Church of the Brethen, Amish etc.) involved in community development work, sponsored by Everence and Mennonite Central Committee U.S.

    ACDN brings together practitioners from Anabaptist‑affiliated organizations and congregations, as well as Anabaptist individuals working in community development, to connect, share wisdom, and strengthen ministries that serve and empower communities across the country.


    Vision for This Network and Why It Matters

    Our vision is to cultivate a space where Anabaptist practitioners can root their community development work in the Anabaptist faith tradition while engaging CCD philosophy alongside CCDA’s broader membership.

    This matters to community developers because it bridges theological conviction and practical tools, helping leaders steward resources responsibly, sustain organizational health, and collaborate across denominations and geographies for the flourishing of their communities.

Nick Wu and Kyle Lee with Indigitous US will also lead us in a demonstration on how to turn a rough concern into a challenge statement, the starting point for a short, focused team effort on a real community problem. Bring a concern you would like to work on.
