Aurora Interfaith Alliance

Established in 2017 as the Mayor’s Interfaith Advisory Council, faith leaders advise on community issues.  

With a renewed commitment to equity and inclusion, the City’s pride in our diversity across the board became a catalyst for strengthening interfaith initiatives and efforts under the banner of the Aurora Interfaith Alliance to:

• Organize a council of heads of churches, temples, mosques, synagogues, and faith-based places of worship and organizations
• Establish and coordinate effective collaborations between the City and the faith community in addressing citywide issues
• Cultivate an environment that engages faith-based organizations in creating citywide programs and initiatives
• Advise City officials on the needs of faith organizations to better serve members, neighborhoods, and the community

Members of the Aurora Interfaith Alliance also:

• Gather for quarterly updates with City officials
• Participate on the City's Boards and Commissions
• Provide invocation at City Council meetings and community events
• Offer assistance during emergency situations
• Advise on religious observances and special occasions
• Help with volunteers for community events and initiatives
