At FUUSE, we believe in inspiring and encouraging participation by the congregation in local, national, and global issues promoting peace, human rights, economic justice and eco-justice.

Social Justice Committee (SJC) 

One of the most active committees at FUUSE, the Social Justice Committee is guided by the following mission: To build awareness, educate and take action on issues focused on creating fair and just economies and healthier communities.

How We Work 

The Social Justice Committee uses a focus group structure whereby members choose a specific area of interest and then brainstorm and develop ways to educate and/or promote action among church members, friends and community members. Focus groups include a Water Affinity Group, a Forest Affinity Group, and SJC is looking into forming a group that explores Core Values. The committee particularly welcomes collaboration with the Children’s Religious Education Committee.
