Social Justice & Partnerships

 

The Ministry of Social Justice and Partnerships seeks to follow in the way of Christ, by promoting opportunities for outreach, advocacy, and education, to create a more just and inclusive world where every person can live in dignity and thrive.

We as a community of faith, are committed to supporting the United Church of Christ MN Conference through justice initiatives and Our Church’s Wider Mission, providing funding and volunteers for community partners, acting on our faith alongside organizations like Interfaith Action, learning about and advocating for issues of injustice in our community and beyond, and doing the ongoing internal work of confronting white supremacy and its lasting impact on our nation and world.

Our members are encouraged to live their faith daily through their careers, volunteer efforts, advocacy, and community partnerships. Many members engage individually, through committees, or alongside our community partners, transforming learning and reflection from Faith Formation, the Social Justice & Partnerships Committee, Land Acknowledgement initiatives, and the Beyond White Supremacy Task Force into meaningful community action.
