Platte Woods Justice Ministry Team (JMT) is working toward a world where inclusion, diversity and the well-being of all people are not just dreams, but realities!
We are motivated by the words of Micah 6:8, which call us “… to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God,” and are further spurred to action by the words of John Wesley, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
The Justice Ministry Team is currently exploring the topics of human sexuality, race relations and community organizing.
Please contact bmolina@plattewoodschurch.org if you are interested in learning more about the Justice Ministry Team or if you are planning to attend a meeting for the first time.
All are invited to “Meet the Pastors”. Whether you’re brand-new to the church, or simply want an opportunity to get to know our pastors better, you’ll find fun conversation and snacks! During a typical event, you’ll have the chance to:
- Learn more about the church’s mission, vision and congregation
- Ask questions
- Get to know the pastors
An evening of courageous conversation and exploration of the complex and timely topics of immigration, migration, and refugees and what we are called to do as followers of Jesus.
Through open and respectful conversation, we aim to explore the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities that these issues present to individuals, communities, and the church.
Every fourth Sunday we celebrate baptisms and new members in our church. These steps in faith occur at our 9:30 and 11:00 am worship services.
For information about joining the church or baptisms of yourself or a family member, contact our Welcome and Connections Coordinator Michael melliott@plattewoodschurch.org.
