Mission and Justice *
Our Mission and Justice Ministry promotes awareness and action on local and global programs that align with God’s vision for a just and loving society. We are called to personal action as the hands and feet of Jesus in the modern world.
This ministry serves meals through the Community Kitchen, offers food, clothes, and personal care items through the Little FREE Pantry, and provides bag lunches through the Meat and Cheese To Go program.
They also oversee showers for the homeless, organize Pride events, and collect school supplies and coats.
Members of this ministry also serve with DuPage United, a coalition of religious and nonprofit organizations, with a goal of uniting our diverse coalition to advocate for transformative policies that empower communities and foster social justice.
