Outreach & Social Justice

Because our world includes suffering in many forms, the heart of our church might be defined as a place dedicated to engaging with our own and others' suffering. We provide relief from suffering in the ways and means we find it possible to do so.

Our Outreach Committee engages in  financial relief efforts locally, nationally, and globally. We have a substantial budget each year to address some of the need that exists.

Many needs are not met by financial assistance alone and we address these needs to our best ability. Here are a few:

• Forums teaching the scope of local and regional issues including housing shortages, emergency medical assistance, immigrant rights, gender affirming awareness and fairness, justice for under-served populations
• Coordination and involvement in our own and other justice groups’ marches and education
• Daily and weekly actions of inclusion and resource sharing by our Outreach members individually and collectively
