Mission, Vision and Values

The Mission of the Social Justice ministry is to do good, seek justice, and correct oppression through awareness, education and action; one person, one connection at a time.

We envision a community where all creation is valued with dignity and worth.

As an expression of love, we embrace the values of  diversity, compassion, integrity, humility, and hope.

Awareness

Psalm 119:18-19 ESV "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!"

Education

Proverbs 1:7 ESV "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Action

James 2:14-17 ESV "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
