Race. Justice. Gospel.
As said by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. We recognize that these injustices continue to affect the church globally and need to be discussed in order to truly lament and process with hope to truly love those around us.
In addition to our Sunday sermons, we created additional resources put together by members of our pastoral staff which address these issues of racial justice and inequaliy.
If you are personally struggling with how to process these issues and need someone to talk to or pray with, please do not hesitate to reach out to your campus pastor or email us at info@epikos.org and we’d be happy to put you in contact with a member of our staff who can help.
Please join us in prayer for our church, our city, our country, and all those who are suffering from these injustices. Pray with us for change to occur within our church and for us to unite together as one.
Together we stand.
