We are excited for our 16th annual Justice Matters Sunday on February 7, 2027.

Once a year during the service we focus on the issue of Human Trafficking and God’s heart for justice.



This year we are very excited to hear from our friend Dominic Done. We chose “Why Justice Matters”  as our theme, simply to be reminded why we should care about this injustice.  Dominic will be focusing on the Biblical foundation for Justice, God’s heart for the vulnerable, and why it should matter to each of us. Micah 6:8 says “He has shown you, O man of God, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” We look forward to his inspiring and important insights. We love Dominic and know that you will too!
 
Dominic will be speaking at all 3 services, and 4 different workshops will be offered during second and third service to help further our education and learn ways we can all help in the fight against trafficking, whether it’s by raising awareness, supporting organizations financially, or volunteering with an organization.  We hope you can spend the day with us and learn how together we can make a difference, by “speaking up for those who can’t speak for themselves,” as it says in Proverbs 31:8-9. We will also have 20+ different ministries and organizations represented in the Fellowship Hall that would love the time to connect with you and share more about what they do and ways you can partner with them. Mark your calendars and invite some friends.

We will be providing a free BBQ burger lunch for everyone attending, so hopefully come and join us for the day!
 
Isaiah 10:1-2, “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.”

"This powerful gathering is bringing awareness to the reality of human trafficking while providing education, resources, and support for survivors and our community... events like this remind us how vital it is for organizations and communities to come together–to shine light, offer hope, and be part of real change."

- HOOFBEATS FOR HOPE

"Justice Matters continues to stand out for its long term commitment to education both the congregation and the broader community about trafficking and exploitation."

- TREASURES

"Justice Matters is such a powerful, encouraging day! So many people realize that their actions and their giving truly matter, and they choose to partner with us to rescue children out of trafficking.  I am also personally uplifted by meeting so many Christ followers who are working on the front lines and those working to support them."

- PAM, DESTINY RESCUE

“Awareness is the first step toward prevention; Justice Matters helps to educate our communities to protect the vulnerable and support survivors.”

- MARY JO RAMIREZ, CALIFORNIA FAMILY LIFE CENTER

“JM has played a pivotal part in my education and awareness of human trafficking both locally and globally. Each year I and my staff attend it helps provide professional and relevant information about how we can continue to advocate and support vulnerable populations in our community. We look forward each year hearing from different experts, survivors and resources.”

- CHARLOTTE PAULSEN, VICE PRESIDENT OF INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN ADOPTION

“He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but He frustrates the plans of the wicked.”

PSALM 146:7-9
