In the course of our academic research into how the political and community engagement of religious organizations influences their congregants, we learned so much about the great work that churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and faith-based nonprofits are doing in Little Rock. This page spotlights some of the projects and organizations we learned about and also has ways to get involved.
In 2017, Dr. Glazier was interviewed by the American Political Science Association about Little Rock Congregations Study. In this video clip, you can hear her speak about how our community partners make this research possible.
If you would like to see your religious organization or project spotlighted here, please let us know! Contact the LRCS Director, Dr. Rebecca A. Glazier, at raglazier@ualr.edu.
