LIFE for Justice. Justice for life.
We are a coalition of churches and other faith based groups that are seeking to make positive changes in our community by bringing justice to broken systems.
For more than 13 years our congregations and members come together annually to vote on and address a systemic problem collectively.
LIFE’s GOAL :
Is for each congregation is to build a powerful Justice Ministry Network.
Our aim is to fix broken systems, but in order to do that, we have to organize each church.
Just as our congregations have other ministries that are foundational parts of their faith (Bible study, Youth Ministry, Mercy Ministry for food drives, etc), we want to build a Justice Ministry so that their congregants can fulfill God’s call for justice.
We look towards Biblical inspiration for building a powerful Justice Ministry in our churches:
We like to consider two scriptures in particular from the Bible.
1. In the Hebrew Bible–Micah 6:8:
“And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
2. In the New Testament–Matthew 23:23-24:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, but have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. It is these you ought to have practiced without neglecting the others.”
