Mission Statement for Act Justly
In line with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Presbyterian Church (USA), St. Andrew's Act Justly endeavors to educate our community about the injustices perpetrated on marginalized individuals. We believe that a deeper understanding will lead to actions of healing and restoration. We wish to highlight and garner support for the many local organizations already doing social justice work.
