Justice, Inclusivity, and Advocacy

Justice & Advocacy

In a divided world consumed with winning and losing, we as the church are called by Christ to be different.

What is justice? The Nebraska Synod challenges congregations throughout Nebraska to identify injustices in their communities and respond to the call to speak on behalf of those in need to see justice done on their behalf.

In a divided world consumed with winning and losing, we as the church are called by Christ to be different. The Nebraska Synod seeks to have a genuine discussion about Christ's calling for us to show mercy, love and justice in our communities, our state, our nation and our world.

It is taking Christ's teachings outside the church walls and into the streets of our neighborhoods, communities and world. No winners. No losers. Just walking with others and showing them the love of Jesus Christ.
