The Erita Group: Equipping the Church for Stronger Communities

The Erita Group is a faith-aligned service company dedicated to partnering with churches of all sizes to address the most pressing needs of their members.

Through our three flagship programs-housing resources, telehealth coordination, and agricultural training-we equip ministry leaders to go beyond Sunday and into the lives of those they serve.

Our membership model is designed to grow with your congregation, offering scalable solutions that meet you where you are where you're called to be.

When people know they can count on their leaders to meet their basic needs, it creates a solid foundation for growth and collaboration. This trust encourages active participation, strengthens social bonds, and helps communities work together toward shared goals.

Our goal is to create a network of national community farmers that distribute produce to parishioners, establish a core planning committee, map community grower assets, and set up a reliable sustainable system for drop-off delivery or food pantry infrastructure. This will help strengthen local food access while building lasting partnerships between faith communities and national growers.

We bring stakeholders to the table, to help our organizations meet the needs of the community with a collaborative partnership, and sustainable growth opportunities for all parties involved.
