Social Justice

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

At Calvary Baptist Church, we seek to be a community of faith that does justice, loves mercy, and walks humbly with our God. As a church, we incorporate the work of justice into everything that we do. Because our congregation is deeply invested in helping to create a more just world, we have created this page for you to keep up with all of the justice work that we are doing as a church.  You will see here that we are committed to supporting those working for racial justice as we proudly say that BLACK LIVES MATTER. You will see our pastors and members advocating for a more just and merciful immigration system as we call for our undocumented and other immigrant neighbors to be protected. You will see that we are a church who marches annually in the DC Gay Pride Parade and daily affirm the lives, relationships, identities of our LGBTQ neighbors.

 

Our commitment to justice begins with our reading of the bible and grows outward from there into the neighborhoods and communities that God has called beloved. We do justice for and with the marginalized and oppressed because it is central to our faith and mandated from our God. We organize, pray, study, teach, protest, petition, preach, read the bible, live, work, and worship together in community as a justice loving, Jesus centered, God fearing people.
