Justice & Reconciliation
The purpose of the Resurrection Justice & Reconciliation Ministry is to build a Christian community where non-religious and nominally religious people become deeply committed Christians by building awareness in our congregation of issues that divide our communities as they relate to race, socio-economics, and justice. Our vision is to be a leading voice and resource for a reconciled and just community.
The J&R team is engaged in addressing and eradicating the root causes of poverty, racial division, and social injustices in the Kansas City area through:
- Creating opportunities for cross-cultural and cross-racial service and immersion.
- Educating our community of faith on relevant issues regarding justice and the exploitation of those unable to speak for themselves
