Racial Justice Ministries
Rooted in faith and a commitment to equity, our Racial Justice Ministries seek to foster understanding, promote unity, and actively work toward the elimination of racism—both within our local community and beyond. This dedicated group gathers regularly to engage in thoughtful dialogue, plan meaningful events, and uplift programs that champion justice, inclusion, and the dignity of every person.
Together, we strive to be a church that not only speaks of love—but lives it out in action.
