Our Mission Statement
Our social justice mission is to demonstrate solidarity with underserved and marginalized communities through acts of advocacy. We strive to show them support, as well as be informative to the world around us so as tot lessen ignorance and promote understanding.
Love Thy Neighbor
Through “Love Thy Neighbor”, we will provide ways to respond and reflect to the issues of race and privilege in our community, country and world. So much is happening in today’s world. For several months we have sheltered in place as a global pandemic has moved through our communities, churches, friends and families. Over these same months, we have repeatedly seen moments of inequality towards people of color. These moments call us to consider our role and response as Christians. Through study and advocacy, we will raise our voice to create change and work for peace.
