Social Justice
Tangible steps toward a more just world
At Mount Horeb UMC, we take our baptismal vows seriously — promising to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. Our Social Justice Team leads the way through advocacy, education, and action. We host movie screenings, book studies, and workshops to learn about issues that matter — and then we put our faith into practice with tangible steps toward a more just world.
Mercy ministries respond to immediate needs (like food and clothing drives), while justice ministries work to address the deeper systems behind those needs. There's a place for you in this work!
Check the church calendar on our home page for upcoming meetings — we’d love for you to join us. Also check the resources below, or contact the church office for more information.
