“Courageously challenge cultural, political, and religious trends that are contrary to the reconciling and restoring purposes of God. Pursue Peace.”

Who We Are
The Justice and Peace Action Team of Greater Kansas City
The Justice and Peace Action Team was formed as a tangible response to recent counsel given to Community of Christ. “Above all else, strive to be faithful to Christ’s vision of the peaceable Kingdom of God on earth. Courageously challenge cultural, political, and religious trends that are contrary to the reconciling and restoring purposes of God. Pursue peace (Doctrine and Covenants 163:3b).”
Our intent is to provide information regarding justice and peace educational opportunities and to promote and sponsor social justice activities, events, and community dialogue scheduled throughout the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.
The Enduring Principles and Mission Initiatives of Community of Christ provide the foundation and framework that invite and encourage disciples to become engaged in compassionate ministry and action in pursuit of God’s Shalom on and for the earth. “As a spiritual venture, boldly follow the initiatives into the heart of God’s vision for the church and creation. Then, in response to growing insight about God’s nature and will, continue to shape communities that live Christ’s love and mission. Let nothing separate you from this mission. It reveals divine intent for personal, societal, and environmental salvation; a fullness of gospel witness for creation’s restoration (Doctrine and Covenants 165:1b and e).” The intent of the Justice and Peace Action Team is to invite the Greater Kansas City area to faithful response to this commission.
The Justice and Peace Action team is sponsored by:
