Jesus and Justice 5-Week Virtual Small Group for Youth

This 5-week small group will meet via Zoom and learn about racism in america through scenes from the Netflix series, All american. Topics covered will include but will not be limited to: Anti-Racism, Racial Profiling, White Privilege, Police Brutality, Advocacy/Allyship and Equality vs. Equity. We will study scripture and discuss justice through a faith lens, so that we can love and better understand the perspective of our BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) neighbors. We believe this topic has to be conversational, so please signup ONLY if you are committed to coming to at least 4/5 weeks.
