At Chalmers, we believe in a different approach to poverty – one that is rooted in God’s redemptive story, the local church, and transformational development.

Sadly, many of the most common ways of helping the poor don't reflect God's design for human flourishing.

These approaches often leave people trapped in the cycle of poverty and create unhealthy dependency on others. This lack of transformation leaves ministry leaders feeling stuck, frustrated, and exhausted.

Since 1999, the Chalmers Center has been helping God's people rethink poverty and respond with practical, biblical principles so that all are restored to flourishing.

We’ve helped thousands of churches and ministries take a different approach to poverty by addressing the broken relationships at the root of poverty instead of just treating the symptoms.
