God loves justice.
This means that justice is also an important part of our discipleship, as we learn how to live like Christ and share the good news of His offer of forgiveness and reconciliation. Taking action in our local community is a vital part of responding and sharing in God’s mission.
Justice and social action can often feel overwhelming or out of reach. but they don’t have to be. Over the course of the morning, we’ll explore how justice can be a natural part of our everyday discipleship: rooted in prayer, Bible study and worship, outward looking to the needs of our local communities, and expressed through both small steps and bold actions.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to engage more deeply with God’s heart for justice and social transformation. You may be unsure about where to start or what this might look in practice. You may already be involved in social action projects or volunteering and are wondering how to embed justice more deeply into your everyday life, or wanting to cultivate a shared vision for justice within your church community. This workshop invites you to embrace a life of everyday justice, not necessarily by adding more to your plate, but by aligning your heart with God’s, and letting His love for justice shape the way you see the world.

- The Bible and justice: God’s heart and design for us.
