This group includes church members as well as community and ecumenical partners who are organizing around justice issues in Rensselaer County, in New York State, and across our country.
Our community tithes approximately 10% of our annual budget to support non-profits that are doing transformative work in our region, and the Social Justice & Mission Team does the important task of redistributing our resources by disbursing grants to our mission partners. The Social Justice & Mission Team meets monthly to share information about justice concerns, and organizes events throughout the year.
Our Board of Deacons also shares in the work of justice and compassion and contributes to Capital Roots, Habitat for Humanity, Unity House, Troy Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (TRIP), and the Regional Food Bank in addition to many of the mission partners listed above!
