DEI Resources
We believe that God cares deeply about suffering and injustice and has equipped us to be a part of the solution by holding space, but also in the rebuilding of our city, our neighborhoods and this world.
We know the church is an instrument in this change and we acknowledge that we’ve gotten it wrong in the past. We are thankful that you’ve landed here, a space to learn more, to move in deep love towards action through these important and intentional resources.
We are committed to empowering you in your spaces, but to corporately respond as well as we give radically, love deeply and act justly. We hope you utilize these important resources, that you join us in intentional prayer towards floods of justice in our community, city and world.
