Outreach & Social Justice
Our mission
Our mission is to live out the teachings of Jesus through welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, reaching out to the people of the community and the world, fostering a sustainable environment, working within our church, with other churches, and with organizations to promote social justice.
The Team takes the lead in coordinating activities that meet the mission, extending participation to the whole congregation. Current activities are helping to meet the needs of the food and housing insecure in our community, supporting a healthy environment, and contributing to improved living conditions beyond our community.
