A Faith That Does Justice

A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need.  Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action.

A Faith That Does Justice's overarching vision is of a community, a nation, and a world where individuals who have the means, energy, and ability to materially help those most vulnerable and in need do so effectively, communally, and with great conviction. Our vision is that those most vulnerable among us grow, prosper, and flourish through the vehicles of education, employment, and other supports so that they may improve their lives, the lives of their families, our communities, and the world as a whole. Our vision is our continued and increased activation of opportunities, encouragement and vehicles for people to put their faith into action. We put this vision into action in three ways: 1) via community offerings; 2) via offering specific opportunities for individuals to act: 3) via our most successful English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program.

Goal One: We will establish our first paid position in order to address significant and increasing demand for our services.

Goal Two: We will double the number of our followers and volunteers.

Goal Three: We will increase the number and amount of charitable contributions that A Faith That Does Justice receives each year.

Several key volunteers are individuals in early career stages of their development. A Faith That Does Justice is offering these individuals the opportunity to contribute to programming, innovation and participate in programming that involves key leadership, key donors and the general public.

A Faith That Does Justice has shown the ability to adapt effectively, efficiently, and very successfully particularly over the last three years. We have done so in three ways: 1) by pivoting to a nearly complete virtual environment during the pandemic. Our ESOL classes as well as all of our other meetings and presentations became entirely virtual and during this time our volunteer base our followers and participants in our presentations became greater in number and in geographic respresentation; 2) we have adapted to the changing circumstances of our community, our nation, and the world as we grapple with the effects of war and the needs of refugees, asylums, immigrants, and others in great need. We continue to adapt to serve these individuals to the best of our ability; and 3) we have adapted as an organization taking on additional responsibilities such as increased foundation outreach, corporate engagement, and new initiatives within our community.
