Racial Justice Ministry
The Racial Justice Ministry’s vision is to make God’s love real so that all races are one in Christ.
What do we do?
The mission is to promote racial justice in the community by teaching, advocating, and connecting with one another.
Teaching: to raise awareness and to inform our Christian responses to racial disparities
Advocating: for racial justice and equality
Connecting: to cultivate diverse relationships
