Each and all of us, created in the image of God are one body - our church, our community, our world.  Following the example of Jesus, we love, value and  advocate for the just and equitable treatment of all of God's children.  The Equity and Social Justice Committee provides opportunities to learn about and become more involved in doing just that.  We embrace the United Methodist Social Principles which are a "call to faithfulness and to social engagement" and a "challenge to all members to engage in deliberative reflection and encourage intentional dialogue between faith and practice." (Preface, Social Principles) 
Through information sessions with speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds addressing many social  issues and through trips to various locations and museums, we invite believers to find new ways to put our faith into practice.  We also aim to connect the congregation to United Methodist Initiatives in our national legislature by exploring TAKE ACTION alerts, which provide a mechanism for contacting Congressional Representatives regarding pending legislation.  (see umcjustice.org )   NURTURE your SPIRIT and IGNITE your ACTIVISM.
