Faith in Action – Conference-wide Justice Working Groups
There are many conference-wide groups in action, working on a range of justice issues. We do our very best to stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed, marginalized, downtrodden and outcast in our communities and around the world. We hope you will find something here to support your congregation in its efforts to transform lives and our world through Justice Ministries. If you aren’t finding what you’re looking for, feel free to contact us. You are welcome to get involved with any of these groups as they work towards a just world for all. And if you have a passion that isn’t reflected in existing groups, you are welcome to form a new group!

Make a Shift with Justice Ministries
Throughout the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry we read stories of Jesus actively engaged in restoring the marginalized to community, healing the wounds of oppression, lifting up the downtrodden and sharing meals with outcasts. Through his ministry, Jesus brought about transformation for individuals, for his community of faith and for the world. As followers of Christ we are invited to do the same.
If you would like to share your congregation’s ideas, successes or resources about justice ministries with others, please contact us.
