520 |a Increased attention currently is focused on the role of faith communities (congregations) in addressing community problems and persons in need. This attention raises questions about the relationship of faith and voluntary community ministry, specifically what effects community ministry has on faith development. Data from two survey instruments explore the relationship between faith and community ministry. A Congregational Survey measures faith and includes a newly constructed faith measurement scale, the Practices of Christian Faith Scale. The survey was administered to a sample of congregational members (n=7,403) from 35 congregations, nearly half of whom report participating in community ministry. A Volunteer Survey inquires of respondents who participate in community ministry (n=946) how their community ministry activity effects their faith and the means in which their congregation supports the relationship between community ministry and faith. Findings offer both conceptual and programmatic mechanisms related to strengthening the relationship of faith and community ministry.
