What is Social Justice?
Justice is at the core of our faith. Our congregation is called to make a positive difference in our wider communities. We work to serve, to raise awareness, and to support and partner with people who face injustice. We advocate, organize, and act for justice to live out the values of our faith. We ACT our VALUES.
