East Durham Vital Worship Movement

The East Durham Vital Worship Movement (EDVWM) is a cohort of seven churches who are partnering in a year-long project of connecting worship with the story of the neighborhood. Through learning experiences, reflection times, and collaborative worship services, the EDVWM hopes to cultivate worship that listens to the community, and is responsive to the people and realities of their neighborhood in East Durham. The program is made possible through a Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Grand Rapids, Michigan, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
