Peace and Justice Ministry

This ministry provides opportunities to follow Christ’s example of nonresistant love and serve as a peacemaker in all areas of life while working toward justice for all people. Congregants are kept informed about current local, national and global peace and justice issues via the information distributed from the Mennonite USA Peace Advocacy Office and Third Way Cafe which is displayed on the Peace and Justice bulletin board.  In addition, there are relevant documentary films shown at the church on a regular basis.
