The Stencora platform works by bringing together people from different social backgrounds, cultures, or denominations, who are at some point bound by the same interests, needs or goals and unites them around Christian values and our mission.
Our advisory board is a group of exceptional, dedicated, and talented Christian leaders. These individuals use their extensive experience and expertise to provide a guiding light for Stencora.
Stencora Platform is currently available both in English and Spanish. We are also actively working on making it available to the Romanian speaking US- based community.
