WHAT IS JUSTICE?

Exploring Justice Through Scripture, Conversation, and Community

“He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8

Throughout this series, Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church invites you to explore the many dimensions of justice through Scripture, thoughtful discussion, and presentations from a variety of voices.

Whether you have studied this topic for years or are just beginning to ask questions, we invite you to learn, listen, reflect, and grow together.
