JustUs
for the common good.
Vision & Mission
Our mission is to live out God’s love and justice for all people. Rooted in compassion and inclusivity, we envision a world where love and justice aren't just ideals, but lived realities that transform lives.
Micah 6:8 "...What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God."
A Prayer of Confession
-
God of grace, you promise abundant life, but we doubt. Forgive us.
-
You call us to hope, but we hide in fear. Forgive us.
-
You urge us to give generously, but we cling to what we have. Forgive us.

You command us to dismantle oppression, but we stall in apathy. Forgive us.
Increase our faith, enlarge our hearts, and awaken us to the wonders you work in the world every day. Amen.
