Jesus took his ministries of healing, teaching, and living the Good New into the places where people gathered. Most of his time was spent outside of buildings dedicated to religious worship. The Church at its best has done the same.
Listed here are some of the many organizations that are working hard to reach and organize those who never get a break from conditions and attitudes that keep them from realizing their full potential or enjoying security, respect, and a fair share of God's providence.
Our hope is that every Greater Kansas City Disciple of Christ will be invested in at least one ministry within the community that moves us all closer - away from easy charity toward the justice Jesus described whenever he talked about the kingdom of heaven.
Organizations listed are willing to welcome and help equip those new to this kind of work. You are likely to find fellow Disciples in all of them. Being ambassadors and evangelists, we do this work mindful that our attitudes, behavior and speech reflect the values of Jesus.
