Empowerment for Social Justice and Peace

OVERVIEW BOARD FOR JUSTICE & WITNESS MINISTRIES

Mission Statement

The guiding principle for the work of the NCNCUCC’s Overview Board for Justice & Witness Ministries is to empower local congregations of the Conference to engage in issues of social justice that reflect the interests and needs of those local congregations and their surrounding communities.

The Overview Board strives to provide tools to local congregations that will assist them in addressing systemic issues consistent with those supported through the annual Neighbors In Need offering of the United Church of Christ. These include poor health, racial and economic injustice, hunger, disparities in education, violence, environmental injustice and underemployment.
