Social Justice & Witness

We believe justice is a core teaching of Jesus Christ. Through education and community we’re working towards creating a welcoming, safe, and anti-racist environment for Douglas County.

Our baptismal vows as United Methodists include our commitment “to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.”  The pursuit of justice and compassion are at the core of faithful action. As a community we seek to move beyond acts of mercy to transforming systems that perpetuate injustice and harm. Created in the image God we seek to live in covenant with God, the world, and honor the dignity of all beings.
