Points of Connection

We call ourselves small and mighty! We are deeply committed to doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

 

Justice Ministry

 

We're members of RISC (Richmonders Involved in Strengthening our Communities). Our Justice Ministry identifies critical community issues, works toward solutions, and joins thousands each spring at the Nehemiah Action to call on public officials for concrete change. Join us in building a more just Richmond.

 

Protesting

 

Many in our congregation engage in organized protests as a direct expression of our faith in Jesus Christ. When Jesus taught us to pray "Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven," he called us to actively work toward God's vision of justice and human dignity.Following Jesus' example—who challenged oppression, stood with the marginalized, and spoke truth to power—we take our faith to the streets. Whether advocating for racial justice, economic fairness, or care for creation, we believe discipleship means both prayer and action.

 

 

Open and Affirming Ministry

 

As an Open and Affirming congregation, we acknowledge and seek forgiveness for the trauma inflicted on LGBTQIA+ individuals in the name of Christ. Our O&A committee works to embody a different witness—one of unconditional welcome, celebration, and justice.

 

We gather socially, create learning opportunities for our church and wider community, participate in Pridefest, and volunteer alongside LGBTQIA+ organizations. This ministry isn't just about inclusion; it's about repair, relationship, and living into God's expansive love for all people.
