Our Mission Statement

Having deepened our understanding of systemic racism, Christ compels us to advocate for justice, fairness and equality within Disciples Home Missions.

“.. and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8

​Disciples Home Missions is committed to being a Pro-Reconciling/Anti-Racist Ministry. Having deepened our understanding of systemic racism, Christ compels us to advocate for justice, fairness and equality within Disciples Home Missions and our world. ​

​We are in solidarity with this message from our General Minister and President Terri Hord Owens and Reconciliation Minister Rev April G Johnson in reaffirming our call to being Pro-Reconciling and Anti-Racist Church. ​

​”We are haunted and outraged by the anguished cries of George Floyd, the gasp of “I can’t breathe” as a police officer knelt on his neck until the breath was completely taken from him. Floyd’s murder, like that of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Aubery in recent weeks, is just the latest in a long history of violence against Black and Brown people in our country. The protests that are happening in big cities and small towns across the nation are an outpouring of grief and anger born of centuries of pain and injustice.”​

We are in solidarity in with condemning this injustice and calling out the sin of racism.  We are reaffirming our Call to be a Pro-Reconciling Anti-Racist Church.  This is our call.
