Racial Justice
We believe Christ’s church is for all people. God calls each by name. It is not our work to sort, divide, categorize or exclude. As saints and sinners, we know both God’s healing and the persistent injustice of racism. In our lives, we join God’s work: insisting on justice, upholding human dignity, and welcoming the full inclusion of all people in church and society.
When we confront racism and strive for fairness and justice, the entire community benefits.
