Who We Are
Goal
THE GOAL OF THE CAPITAL AREA JUSTICE MINISTRY is to make social justice change in the Tallahassee area by training congregational leaders to build a powerful community voice that will set the agenda in the local public sphere. Leaders will build this powerful voice by engaging the congregation’s average worship attendance to come out several times a year to address city and county decision makers about local injustices.
