MCC Global Justice Vision and Mission

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
The purpose of the Moderator’s Global Justice Team of Metropolitan Community Churches is to be an agent of change by building bridges that liberate and unite voices of sacred defiance.  While transforming history, we seek to live the Good News of the Gospel.  We are called to reflect the promise of God’s blessings for all people and offer leadership from the margins of the world, working to end oppression by instigating, inspiring, and participating in acts of justice.
