WHY WE’RE HERE

RECOGNIZING INJUSTICE IN OUR WORLD TODAY

  • Churches today do not reflect the diversity of their surrounding community

  • Practicing IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-racism) for all people is what the Great Commission is all about

  • IDEA ministry builds vital ministry, inclusive of all God’s people
