We Are A Just Peace Church

We are called to spread the good news of God’s Shalom throughout the world and to usher in the realm of God which is built on the foundation of justice and peace. 

Therefore, we, the people of Foster Memorial Church, declare our commitment to be a justice-doing and peace-seeking community: by continuing our outreach ministries to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and clothe and house the poor; and by committing ourselves to identify and change the systemic issues that cause the need for such ministries to exist.  May God grant us the wisdom, strength and courage to follow in the ways of our Savior, Jesus, in the struggle for justice and peace.

Johnson School, Gray House and Open Pantry, Inc. Among our many global partnerships: Church World Service (CWS), UNICEF and the Disasters Ministries of the United Church of Christ.
