2024 Faith & Blue

Saturday, October 12, 2024 - 10:00am to 2:00pm


2024 Tualatin Faith & Blue Event
Mission

Faith & Blue was launched to facilitate safer, stronger, more just and unified communities by directly enabling local partnerships among law enforcement professionals, residents, businesses and community groups through the connections of local faith-based organizations.

The initiative aims to re-calibrate police-community relations through solutions-focused, in-person, socially distanced and/or virtual activities that are organized jointly by faith-based or other community groups and law enforcement agencies.

 

about this event

At the heart of this initiative is the reinforcement of connections between law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve through the reach of houses of worship. There is no resource that can match the depth of the faith community in facilitating productive engagement with law enforcement, which is needed now more than ever. These connections are built through activities that are held in neighborhoods of every kind across the united states, jointly hosted by houses of worship and local law enforcement entities.

Tualatin Police Department, in partnership with Horizon Community Church, will host a Faith & Blue event on Saturday, October 12, from 10am - 2pm, at the Tualatin Police Department. Horizon Community Church will offer outdoor yard games, ice cream bars, and community engagement.

We ask those who are willing and able to bring a donation of canned food to contribute to Tualatin Elementary's Backpack Program and Horizon Church's Community Christmas, which help children and families.

 

purpose

Communities are stronger and safer when residents and law enforcement professionals can relate as ordinary people with shared values, hopes, and dreams. The partners who are a part of National Faith & Blue Weekend believe we can find ways to work together around our many commonalities instead of being divided by our differences.
