Race & Justice

A letter from Lead Pastor David Stark

I believe this is a moment in history when Jesus is inviting His church to listen to our black and brown brothers and sisters in ways we may have never done before. I believe that as we listen, God wants to show us our own heart, and give us His heart, so that we can be followers of Jesus who do justice (what is right) , love kindness and walk humbly.

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? –Micah 6:8

These resources have been very helpful to me. I hope they will be for you as well.

Blessings,

David Stark, Lead Pastor

Be the Bridge

Be the Bridge" to Racial Healing is a non-profit organization and a community of people who share a common goal of creating healthy dialogue about race and racialization in the U.S., with an emphasis on promoting understanding about racial disparities and injustices. Their intent is to equip one another to become interracial bridge builders, or ambassadors of racial reconciliation, within our respective communities. The ultimate desire is for the church to become credible witnesses to true biblical oneness.
