Justice & Mission
Justice has a goal: Shalom
To do justice is to remove the constraints that keep people from living the life that God intended.

We believe in doing work that is
-
To contextualize means that we don’t bring our preconceived notions of who people are or assume their needs, but instead, we listen, learn, and love in the name of Jesus according to his example and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
-
Mutuality is a relationship where people engage as equals - each party is seen as a contributor and learner who holds dignity, value, and insight. Mutuality is a posture of “we have something to learn from each other”. As a result, all parties are built up, made stronger, and experience greater kinship with one another.
-
A wholistic view of ministry is to recognize God’s care for the whole person - to bring the Gospel that is good news to the physical, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of a person. That the whole Gospel would meet the whole person and as a result, God would use whole people to redeem whole communities.
