Giving Back to Our Community
We are called to be vital living witnesses to the love, justice and grace of God through Jesus Christ, as is called for in Acts 2:43-47. Therefore, 10 percent of our church budget is intentionally dedicated to missions – local, regional and global.
We demonstrate a passion for justice, reaching out in a shared mission of offering love and support from “our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.”
Social Justice Team
Our Social Justice Team meets once a month and currently works on three focuses of ministry. First, we have committed ourselves to work on the affordable housing crisis facing our community. We have hosted panel discussions, planning sessions, and will engage in advocacy efforts in Lee’s Summit and other communities. Second, we strive to live out our commitment to our Open and Affirming welcome. We support and affirm our neighbors and members in the midst of the beautiful diversity of creation and our community including race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, etc. Finally, we have made a commitment to advocate for voter rights as well as other non-partisan efforts that align with our mission to build bridges of grace from the Welcome Table to every table. We hope you will join us in the work of this amazing team, and support the ministry of sharing God’s love and grace with all!
Join us as we serve our community!
