The Covenant Justice Coalition Conference is an insightful litany of workshops with the sole goal of educating and training our churches on issues of justice. We believe that it is the responsibility of our citizenship through corporations, governments, courts, communities and most of all the Church to
live out justice for the poor and the oppressed wherever we are present. To that end, every conference is a practical and personal call to actions of justice.

JESUS’ SOCIO-POLITICAL PLATFORM

Jeremiah 22:1-9
We are called to be exemplary in policy and practice to serve the poor, the marginalized and the at risk as an example and influence of how society is to function best in the world. The Gospel mandates not only that we serve individuals, but that we influence structures that shape the social norms and sensitivities towards goodness — because of being God-centered in reverence. 

Mark 11:12-21
We seek to deconstruct any system that exploits the poor.

Mark 1:40-45
We honor the biblical expectation that we be angry at a system that doesn’t seek to heal the sick.

Matthew 5:38-41
We respond to an oppressive act against our humanity with a non-violent act of self-determination that exposes evil’s intent.

John 12:12-19
We follow Christ not empire.

Mark 5:1-17
We preferentially serve persons and groups who are sick, poor, marginalized, and outcasts, and we  work to dismantle any structures that bar access to healing.

We both feed the hungry and hold the system accountable to do the same.

Matthew 6:1-15

Isaiah 58:1-14
We repent of self-centered ways of worshipping God and interpreting Scripture, and we call out evil wherever we see it.

Matthew 20:1-16
We advocate for the fair wages for the working poor.

Lamentations 3:19-36
We stand up for those in exile and protest policies and laws that ignore or mistreat any displaced person.

We advocate for laws and policies which create safe spaces, reparations and restoration for the harmed.
