Invitation: Be Connected - AZ Military/Veteran Faith Based Summit. Register by June 4th!

May 15, 2021 in Faith In Action

Shared here is an invitation from the AZ Governor’s office of Youth, Faith, & Families. The GOYFF initiative is hoping to connect the Arizona Coalition for Military Families with local congregations who would be willing to partner with them in their mission. “The Arizona Coalition for Military Families is a public/private partnership and statewide collective impact initiative focused on building Arizona’s capacity to care for, serve, support and employ service members, veterans and their families.” 

We encourage you or the appropriate representative from your church to participate if ministry to military families is a part of or in line with your mission.   

The GOYFF has supported the Be Connected program and the Arizona Coalition for Military Families for many years. This program has supported countless families and saved many lives.

You are invited to an online, no cost, summit hosted by the Arizona Coalition for Military Families, Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services and the Be Connected program, in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family. Join faith-based communities and members from around Arizona as we strengthen faith-based support for all service members, veterans and their families.
