Orange County Justice United

We are a founding partner congregation in the Orange County Justice United, which is a new community organizing group focused on building power for sustainable social and economic change. The organization has identified six broad issues on which to focus its leadership development, relationship building, research,and organized action efforts. These are: health care, education, living wages, immigrant families, affordable housing, and the environment. There are many ways to get locally involved in these issues.

Economic Justice Coordinating Committee

The Economic Justice Coordinating Committee is active in moving the church’s Economic Justice agenda forward in several areas. It has helped monitor the movement of the Economic Justice resolution through the Southern Conference and General Synod, has worked on developing a web presence, and has held conferences with church boards and groups to discuss economic justice efforts. Current projects include working to promote the Orange County Organizing Committee to the church, leading a task force to look systematically at the church's economic justice commitments, and supporting adult education programs.
