Peace & Justice

Mission:

Committee Goals
  • Promote peacemaking in our church, community and world
  • Promote and advocate universal economic justice–personally, locally and globally
  • Study and promote within our congregation the bold statements of peace and justice from our denomination
  • Work with the Global Missions, Creation Care, and Community Outreach Committees to better coordinate the work of the four outreach committees, eliminating overlap, identifying synergies and building on one another’s strengths
