Our Values and Mission

We trust in the sacred interconnection of all and the creative and liberative power within these relationships. Recognizing our complicity in racist systems that oppress, harm and steal life, we commit to transforming ourselves and to taking actions that resist, disrupt, and heal these broken systems. All life depends on it.

We ignite the power of our relationships in our shared stories and spiritual wisdoms by acting collectively with our neighbors for more equitable, diverse, thriving neighborhoods in the following ways:

Organizing members and our neighbors to share our stories and make meaning of our collective stories.
Organizing members and our neighbors to interact with various spiritual paths and experiences; making meaning together through story, discernment and ritual
Providing and organizing education around the arts and practices of relationship-based community organizing.
Organizing members and our neighbors to respond out of our spiritual wisdoms and shared stores in social action for the common good.
Being a home for the ELCA congregation, Salt and Light Lutheran Church, and supporting them in living out their values and faith in public life through organizing for the common good.
