We host a monthly online gathering with Christian folks committed to the work of racial justice, reconciliation, and healing in order to take a deep dive into a scriptural passage that illuminates, inspires, and challenges us. The reason is simple. As we at the Mission Institute engage the work of dismantling racism and white supremacy culture—within us and in the groups and communities we’re part of—we find ourselves longing for inspiration and wisdom for this profoundly spiritual and lifelong journey. We believe that gathering as a community and listening closely together to scripture—to where we hear the Spirit moving—can be life-giving.
Want to get involved? Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch soon!

In addition to our ongoing programs, we occasionally host one day events bringing people together to engage a particular need. For example, we have hosted a Dismantling Racism Hackathon—curating resources to support the work of dismantling racism. We have brought together theologians and practitioners to lift up scripture or theological frameworks that help us deepen the work of dismantling racism. If you are interested in getting connected and staying up to date on these events, please sign up for our newsletter here or like us on facebook!
