Self-Development of People is a ministry that affirms God’s concern for humankind. We are Presbyterians and ecumenical partners dissatisfied with poverty and oppression, united in faith and action through sharing, confronting, and enabling. We participate in the empowerment of economically poor, oppressed, and disadvantaged people, seeking to change the structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression and injustice.
The Synod of Lakes and Prairies maintains its own Self Development of People Committee.
The region of the Synod of Lakes and Prairies covers a wide area of the upper Midwest.
