PEACE & JUSTICE

The ministries of Peace & Justice at Church of the Messiah call us to the courageous and risk-filled work of embodying our baptismal promise to strive for justice and peace and respect the dignity of every human being.

HOPE NICARAGUA

AMOS Health and Hope (A Ministry Of Sharing) www.amoshealth.org, is a Christian non-profit organization in rural Nicaragua that prioritizes the needs of vulnerable people in remote, rural areas of Nicaragua through a variety of programs using community-based methodologies. It has core values of a commitment to serve alongside those in need, to live out the Gospel through love in action, and to celebrate with local leaders as they work toward bringing peace, justice, health and education to their communities. Church of the Messiah has been a partner with AMOS since our first mission trip to the small rural village of Cumaica Norte in January 2012.

MINISTRY TO THE UNHOUSED

Through the Ministry to the Unhoused, Messiah parishioners care for the needs in our local community. Currently, Messiah provides “Welcome Home Kits” for individuals and families moving into a permanent housing after homelessness.
