Called to do Justice: Putting Faith Into Action
Everyone is invited to join with others working to make a difference in our community. Jesus continually taught to defend the weak and lift up the powerless. Therefore, we work for justice. What is justice? Fair and equal treatment in society, including access to basic needs. Working for justice goes beyond charity to change the systems that cause injustice. We engage in research on relevant topics, identifying needs in our church and community, working to educate the congregation, and creating and implementing actions that improve the situation.
What Does God Ask?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8.
Doing justice is central to our lives as followers of Jesus.
