Join a Social justice ministry teams​

If you are interested in getting more involved in social justice issues consider joining one of our issue focused ministry teams. These teams take action by organizing and collaborating on a specific issue related to a root cause of injustice. 

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."

LGBTQ+ Family Support Network

The LGBTQ+ Family Support Network is a faith-based support group that provides on-going education and resources, guest speakers and peaceful advocacy. Any LGBTQ+ person or family member, including parents, grandparents, or guardians of an LGBTQ+ person are encouraged to join the group, regardless of church or faith community affiliation.

Gun Violence Prevention Ministry

Our team will explore gun violence as a public health crisis and work to spread awareness and education on how to reduce gun violence in our community

Racial Justice Ministry

The Racial Justice Ministry is forming a racial justice leadership team. Together, this team will work to create racial justice awareness, acceptance and understanding with our congregation through classes, speakers, and activities. This group will also work with other churches and organizations in promoting racial justice.
