RACIAL JUSTICE

The purpose of the Racial Justice Team, formed in January 2020, is based on the summary clause of the
ULC Statement of Intentional Welcome:
​"We will continually strive to eliminate prejudice from our thoughts and actions
and will discourage prejudice in others at every opportunity."

Our team

• Educates the ULC congregation to recognize racism and racial issues.
• and equips, leads, and supports the congregation to be biblical anti-racist agents with the people and institutions in our lives.

If you are interested in helping prepare or coordinate education programs and/or helping us develop community partnerships, please contact Vicki Anderson via the church office.
