Interfaith Paths to Peace

Collaborating. Educating. Peacebuilding.

Interfaith Paths to Peace (IPP) works to coordinate and empower cooperative action in Louisville for social transformation and renewal. Since our beginnings in 1996, we have centered our peacebuilding initiatives in four areas: community-based violence interruption, multi-sector coalition building, interfaith understanding and collaboration, and migrant/refugee welcome and integration. We generate initiatives that unite and organize people of diverse faiths, races, cultures, and traditions to create a more just society wherein we all get to experience wellbeing. IPP is committed to uplifting the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities.

We couldn’t do all this without you. Your support matters. Because in order to build peace, we must work to reduce violence.

We know that faith communities and grassroots organizations play an important role in violence prevention work. IPP has expanded its scope to steward collaborations that link individuals and communities with the resources they need to heal from generations of trauma and oppression. Our Summit for Safety and ongoing work with the Louisville Alliance for Sustainable Gun Violence Reduction defines our role in violence reduction in our community. Too, this year we partnered with the Center for Interfaith Relations to launch the Kentucky Interfaith Network - a statewide initiative bringing faith communities together in common action.

Your contribution will help Interfaith Paths to Peace build its capacity to expand our work violence reduction, racial equity, interfaith relations, and intercultural peacebuilding. Together, we are ALL working for peace!

Who We Are

Interfaith Paths to Peace has been in the community for over 20 years promoting community peace and interfaith understanding. We provide a platform for dialogue and peace-building in a world where the public discourse grows more and more hostile. This platform is built on a foundation of respect for one another’s faith tradition, ethnicity, and culture; the value of listening to opposing views; and offering honest, open-hearted responses without violence or extremism. By doing so, we create a united community that celebrates its similarities AND its differences – a community that coexists peacefully in a world where social challenges such as violence, hunger, oppression, and natural disaster impact us all.

We invite everyone to join us for our events and activities, which include educational events, interfaith dinners, concerts, community vigils, cultural events, and much more!

OUR MISSION: Interfaith Paths to Peace builds peace and compassion in our community by uniting people of diverse faiths and cultures. Our vision is to leave a more peaceful world for future generations.

Together, working for peace!
