Good Trouble at Cameron is our commitment to advocacy and action to ensure that every human being enjoys the basic human rights of equality, justice, equity, and dignity. Good Trouble at Cameron Church speaks, equips, and acts for social justice, with a focus on race, gender, and LGBTQ equity. We speak as a voice for justice as active co-creators of the kin-dom of God for all. We equip our congregation, friends, and neighbors to do Good Trouble work personally and collectively. We act as leaders and participants in justice work both inside and outside our church walls. We do this, in relationship with others, to educate, advocate, and serve.
If you would like to join us and participate in the direction and definition of our work, please contact Good Trouble at Cameron.

RADICAL LOVE LISTENING CIRCLE

The mission of the Radical Love Listening Circle is to sustain and advance the Cameron Way of deep-seated hospitality in order to challenge white male supremacy, racism and gender discrimination. We all have many questions about what it means to stir up Good Trouble, how to live equitably, and the relationship of justice work to Christianity. Join us after service on the third Sunday of each month for open conversation and collaboration to take active steps for justice in our community.
All are welcome, regardless of church affiliation. |
