What We Believe

Churches United for Justice is a nonprofit, grassroots, non-partisan, direct-action organization based in Wyandotte County. Founded in 2021, we are a coalition of congregations working together to bring justice to our communities. We draw on our collective stories, organize people power, and take strategic action to influence policy and hold public officials accountable.

We believe in the biblical story of justice.

The biblical story offers abundance, hope, love, and community. It teaches us that life finds meaning when we love God and our neighbor (Leviticus 19:18; Luke 10:27). We believe that doing justice is not optional—it is central to faith (Micah 6:8; Matthew 23:23–24).

We stand over and against the "cult of money."

Consumer culture tells a false story of scarcity, fear, and self-interest. In contrast, we follow a story rooted in generosity, faith, and shared purpose.

We need the power of organized people to win justice (Nehemiah 5)

Through direct action, organized people from all faith traditions unite to hold leaders accountable and demand systemic change.

We embrace high standards and rigorous accountability.

We value growth, evaluation, and shared success. Leaders are supported, celebrated, and developed—because justice demands our best.
