Let's Talk About Racism

In the wake of the senseless death of George Floyd, American has awakened to a reality that was only known and experienced by a few. When we hear stories about America's past of slavery, segregation, lynching, and more, it not always easy to associate them with the bustling and technological society that we have now. But those same beliefs and systems still affect us on a variety of levels and threaten not only the foundation of everything built upon it but also the mental and spiritual health of every American. In order to begin uprooting such destructive systems, heal from the psychological damage they have caused on both sides, and understand what life is like for those who experience it daily, we must first begin to open our hearts and minds and simply talk about it.  

In this group, we will cover a variety of topics about racism. From these topics you will also hear first-hand accounts of how it effects those on both sides as well as ask questions. In this group, we will offer insight on how you can combat racism in your own life as well as its deeper spiritual implications. See our list of resources below for more options and information.  

​This group is ideal for those who:
  • want to understand racism from a different and deeper perspective. 
  • have questions about the black experience but are afraid or don't have anyone to ask. 
  • want to understand the effects of racism on our society. 
  • want to know how the church should be responding to racism. 
  • want to get more involved and active but are unsure how. 

This group:
  • meets on special selected dates and times. Please sign-up to be notified of our next meeting. 

These meetings will help you to:
  • recognize racism more clearly. 
  • talk about it more confidently with your friends and family. 
  • become more informed about what has brought our country to this point. 
  • help you to recognize your own biases. 
  • take action to improve our society for future generations. 
  • understand what is happening concerning these issues from a more spiritual perspective.
