MAKE US
ONE
Jesus prays for all believers:
“I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one – I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
-John 17:20-23

We are on a
journey together...
Learning to live more deeply into the oneness the gospel has called us to, and to celebrate the beauty of Christ shining through our diverse cultures, generations, and perspectives.
As we take meaningful steps forward, we will be taking a deeper look at how racism, bias, and unjust systems can be present among us today. Together, with our Make Us One Resource Group, we will be led towards the unity we are called to as Christ’s church body.

Celebrating Black History gives us the opportunity to expand our understanding of culture, community, and our history. It is an important way we get to celebrate the diversity of the body of Christ – His Church both here and around the world.
