REACHING OUT
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love...” - Galatians 5:13
Mission, Peace, and Eco-Justice committee strives to serve, support, and inspire our church to take action to provide God’s peace and justice and protect God’s creation.
​
Through the Mission, Peace, and Eco-Justice committee we reach out and support the members of our global and local community. We partner with non-profit organizations in the Salem area and work year-round on various programs, such as:
-
Collecting food for the Table of Plenty food pantry and clothing and household goods for Helping Hands
-
Partnering with Salem for Refugees hosting a family on site at our Winola House property.
-
Compiling and selling Life Pax meals for distribution to houseless neighbors.
It’s inspiring and often enjoyable and takes many hands to keep these programs running successfully! We encourage you to get involved.
Apart from direct ministry, our congregation also partners with the following organizations in Salem:
