Discovery’s Racial Justice Team

Mission

Discovery's Racial Justice Team's mission is to build awareness and promote racial justice advocacy grounded in theology and a deep and growing faith in Jesus. Volunteers meet monthly to learn together and lead Discovery's efforts in engaging in racial justice work.  The desire is for this team to be diverse in age, gender, ethnicity, abilities, and political beliefs.
