Service & Justice

It is Gloria Dei’s vision that our social action be rooted in God’s justice and compassion, caring for local and global neighbors with courage, dignity, and attention to the whole person. In our church constitution, we recognize our calling to “Serve in response to God’s love to meet human needs, caring for the sick and the aged, advocating dignity and justice for all people, working for peace and reconciliation among the nations, and standing with the poor and the powerless and committing to their needs.”

Gloria Dei seeks to live out this vision of addressing human need through direct service and care, advocacy and solidarity with the marginalized, and active participation in other service organizations. All are welcome to participate in Gloria Dei’s ministry of service – for and with others in the community.
