YOU provide peace
Our Social Principles call us to love our enemies, seek justice and serve as reconcilers of conflict.
Through our gifts on Peace with Justice Sunday we are able to strengthen God’s family with ministries that challenge structures of inequality and empower people and communities through systemic change.
Fifty percent of this offering stays within the annual conference to support Peace with Justice Coordinators to develop local social justice ministries. The remaining 50 percent provides for education and ministry for advocacy and action efforts.
