Social Action-Justice

We meet on the second Monday of the month at 1:00 pm at the church.

Kate Ramsey is the current contact for this committee.

Our Mission: To make a positive impact on the community and the world in which we live by stimulating the active involvement of our congregation in social services and social justice issues.

Our Objectives:

  1. Communicate with congregation and community through newsletters, emails, news releases, etc.
  1. Fund primarily local non profits.
  1. Collaborate with other organizational and ecumenical groups in Buncombe County and elsewhere on social justice and social action issues.

Congregational Surveys:

Our most recent survey in 2017 showed the following as the top issues: Racial Oppression, Victim/Hate crimes, Homelessness, Peace Advocacy, Immigration/Undocumented Workers, Gender Equality, Environment & Environmental Justice, Hunger. Thus our current effort will focus on these areas.
