Community Outreach

Dimensions, a dynamic networking platform and organization, has been inspiring and empowering Christian business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs for over 19  years. Our commitment to community outreach has led us to spearhead various initiatives aimed at fostering growth and development. 


1. CREATE A "YELLOW PAGES" e-DIRECTORY

This e-Directory will list all the business owners, micropreneurs and freelancers in the  parish so that we are able to source and circulate talent and services locally and help the  parish community prosper and grow. We have done this for a few parishes in Mumbai  with support of parish priests through a google form administered by members of the  PPC or the SCC Co-ordinators.
