The locus chosen for the field research was the city of Santa Luz, located in the State of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil. The field research had the central objective of verifying signs of development and transformation in this city, as well as understanding the role of the local church in this process. For this, five focus groups were used, and based on them, a narrative was elaborated that reveals, in a very peculiar way, the type and scope of the development that is happening in this location. This study also made use of bibliographic research with a focus on building the theoretical, historical, biblical and theological foundations of DLS, as well as documentary research, of CFB archives. According to the results obtained in this study, it was evident that the coalition between the CFB and the National Presbyterian Church (NPC), has contributed to the development of the city of Santa Luz, through the following strategies: financial education, fostering entrepreneurship in the city, child education, sports, application of social technologies, welcoming women, integration between local NGOs, churches and public authorities, community mobilization, among others. The results also point to: improved self-esteem for adults and children, increased family income, better protected children, improved children's education, emotional well-being, community participation, professional development, and improved quality of life.
