We are committed to using our talents, the resources of our faith, and the opportunities of citizenship to shape a society more respectful of the human person and God's creation.

 

We believe that our complex society includes policies and practices that may not benefit some members of our community. Our work, therefore, attempts to identify and highlight areas of concern and seek the help of others

Our Goal:
Influence public policy and provide community education to ensure the needs of all people and the voice of the church are represented.
