Justice and Witness

Justice and Witness Ministries of the United Church of Christ embraces God's transforming mission to do justice, seek peace, and build community.  Therefore, in response to the call of Christ, we speak and act prophetically through public witness, policy advocacy, issue education, and grassroots empowerment to build a more just, compassionate, and inclusive world.

At Rincon our Justice and Witness Ministry Board  responds to this mission by initiating, developing and implementing all programs of the Church and its membership in the community beyond the church through support of our ministry partners.
