Congregational Justice Mobilizing
Our congregational justice mobilizers are here to encourage and support churches in their response to God's call to justice. We can help you learn about biblical justice, and about specific issues such as global poverty or immigration reform. We can suggest readings, lead workshops, be a guest speaker or preacher, suggest ideas for how to get started, or help you figure out how to continue along the journey. And if you have a story to share about how you or your church is responding to God’s call to justice, we'd love to hear it. Let's continue the conversation!Contact Steve, Kris or Kelly below, or email osjha@crcna.org at any time to learn how we can be a resource for you.
