Joining the Micah Challenge coalition

Stand alongside Christians of all denominations in unity crying out for justice for the world’s poorest people and engaging Christians to halve poverty.

The coalition of UK churches, charities, businesses and organisations is gathering momentum. Join the coalition now.

What joining the UK coalition of Micah Challenge means

Joining Micah Challenge is much more than signing a declaration: it is not a passive gesture but instead an act of participation.

By joining Micah Challenge you are saying you agree and want to support the aims of this movement. You are also demonstrating you are ready to stand alongside others who also share these aims.

Joining the Micah Challenge collation requires leadership approval, engagement in actions, proactive promotion and, normally, voluntary financial contribution. Participation means:-

The church/organisation:

  • Supports the aims and vision of Micah Challenge,
  • Promotes the work of Micah Challenge within the church/organisation,
  • Leadership of the church/organisation supports and is ready to publicly back participation in Micah Challenge,
  • Respects the values of Micah Challenge,
  • May contribute to the funding of the work of Micah Challenge (see guidelines)
  • Will create webpage links to Micah Challenge,
  • Nominates an individual within the church/organisation as a “Champion” for correspondence and contact.

Micah Challenge:

  • Will provide the church/organisation with resources to assist in the promotion of its aims (articles, DVDs, electronic downloads, preaching and teaching materials),
  • Will link people to the best educational resources to challenge and mobilise the church around issues of justice and poverty (e.g. the Micah course)
  • Will assist in the promotion of the church/organisation’s own activities that help achieve the MDGs (inc. prayer, action, campaigning, giving) along with appropriate web links,
  • Permits the use and promotion of the church/organisation as a “Micah Church”, “Micah Business”, “Micah Charity” or “Affiliate of Micah Challenge”
