The AUMC Justice Team
The United Methodist Church has a long history of concern for social justice. John Wesley and the early Methodists expressed their opposition to societal ills such as slavery, smuggling, inhumane prison conditions, alcohol abuse, and child labor. We believe every person is created in the image of God and therefore is inherently worthy of dignity, care, and respect. We believe it is our responsibility to act on our faith, to be doers as well as believers, to love our neighbor as ourselves.
These are areas you could be involved with the ongoing justice work supported by AUMC:
JOURNEY TOWARD RACIAL JUSTICE - J2RJ meets monthly for lunch and programming, and focuses on understanding and learning more about our call to end racism in all forms. The group meets in Room 40 at 12:15 pm on the third Sunday of the month.
Arapaho UMC’s Justice Ministry Table consists of leaders who are committed to advocacy for priority policy issues identified by church-wide surveys.
You’re invited to participate in any or all of these justice teams:
Maternal Health and Reproductive Policies
