JustFaith Ministries, Inc. has been organized for the advancement of religious, educational and charitable purposes. It operates programs which are designed to empower and expand individual and church commitments to social ministry. JustFaith provides an opportunity to study the Christian tradition’s commitment to the poor and vulnerable in a lively, challenging, multi-faceted process that is experienced in the context of a small community of faith. Through its extended justice education formation programs, JustFaith Ministries provides opportunities for individuals and groups to study and be formed by the justice tradition articulated by the Scriptures, the historical witness of faithful Christians, and the social teaching of several Christian traditions. The programs are conversion-based processes that seek to integrate personal spirituality and active engagement in meeting the needs of society’s poor and marginalized. The aim of the programs is to empower participants to develop a passion and thirst for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of social ministry in their churches and communities.
