The Social Action Committee works to help all members of the congregation live their values by providing information and education on issues of social concern at the local, national, and international levels, and by offering opportunities for advocacy and action. Work for social justice and community service are responsibilities shared by all church members and staff; ideas for and leadership of specific projects can come from both inside and outside the Social Action Committee.
