Learn ABOUT CMEP

Church & Organizational Partners

 CMEP helps churches, organizations, leaders, and individuals advocate for justice and peace for all peoples in knowledgeable, timely, holistic, and effective ways. We rely on partnerships to promote a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

What does it mean to be a CMEP partner?

CMEP CHURCH PARTNERS INCLUDE LOCAL CONGREGATIONS AND GROUPS WHO AFFIRM OUR MINISTRY BY SHARING OUR WORK, ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITIES, AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES.

We engage with our church partners by:

  • A monthly tailored newsletter that includes updates on events, happenings in the Middle East, spiritual resources, and liturgical materials 
  • Individual touchpoints and discipleship support with CMEP’s Programs and Outreach manager to discuss opportunities for engaging with Middle East justice in your community 
  • Early-bird access to hosting CMEP speakings during our annual Pilgrimage to Peace Speaking Tours 
  • Individualized pilgrimage experiences for your congregation to take in the spirit, history, and politics of the Holy Land 
  • Are our go-to communities when constituents reach out looking for a new church home that supports justice in the Middle East
  • …and much more! 
 

We hope you will consider partnering with us.
