Racial Justice Resources
“Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want.”
Amos 5:24 (MSG)
Lakepoint Church affirms the image of God and inherent dignity of all people regardless of ethnicity, and believe that the church should lead the way in love and reconciliation in every area of racism.
Our message on Racial Justice
What does Jesus' unlikely meeting with an anonymous woman have to say about our race relationships today? Jesus calls us to walk through our own Samaria's today.
