When serving with our Missions team, you can expect discussions about opportunities for outreach, use of resources, and regular updates about serving opportunities with Love Chapel and various other ministries. 

We meet as needed during the Sunday school hour at The Haven (9:45-10:45 AM) and also communicate frequently via email. 

Contact Linda Guse at lbguse@gmail.com to get involved!

I want to start a new ministry or Fresh Expression, but have some start-up expenses—can I get help with that? Contact Linda Guse or the church office for a "mini-grant" application to let us know what you need and how the Missions Team can support you.

Through prayer, education, and action, we seek to address systemic injustice and respond compassionately to the needs of our world. Our ministry supports efforts related to poverty relief, environmental stewardship, racial and economic equity, and the inclusion of all people in the life and mission of the Church. We connect with social justice initiatives already occurring within our community and through short-term projects within our church body. 

We gather for community social justice events and other projects as needed. 

We seek people who are passionate about promoting justice in their sphere of influence—we want to hear what you care about and enable you to make a difference. To get involved, contact Austin Guse at austinguse5@gmail.com to learn about upcoming opportunities.

What is social justice? Social justice focuses on addressing inequalities in the world. This takes many forms, including economic justice, environmental justice, racial reconciliation, gender equality, and many more.

Is social justice political? In our polarizing times, the term "social justice" has unfortunately become a politically charged term. As a ministry, our aim is to operate above the political divide and invite all to participate in seeking the common good.

What is creation care? Creation care is a form of social justice that focuses on being good stewards of our Earth, recognizing that we are deeply connected to nature and its inhabitants. This can involve advocating for best practices for combating climate change, participating in land preservation efforts, or seeking environmental justice in our communities.

What does Jesus and Christianity say about social justice? During His ministry, Jesus actively advocated for the poor and marginalized. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus states that loving your neighbor as yourself is equal to loving God.
