BRIDGE BUILDING
The work of Christ’s reconciliation in our lives brings us closer to God and closer to one another in unity with God’s Spirit. It’s the work God has done and continues to do but we are also active participants in helping make God’s vision a reality. God chooses to do this work in and through us both individually but also corporately as Christ’s body, the Church. We continue to rely on God’s power as we commit ourselves to “accept[ing] the freedom and power God gives [us] to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.” (The Services of the Baptismal Covenant of The United Methodist Church from the Book of Discipline)
Below are the groups forming to intentionally embody and share this ongoing work.
