Faith Without Works - Do Churches Have a Social Justice Mandate?

This timely and thought-provoking forum invites faith leaders, congregants, and community members to explore a critical question at the intersection of belief and action: What responsibility do churches have in addressing social justice issues in our communities?

The event will feature a moderated panel discussion bringing together diverse perspectives rooted in scripture, theology, and lived experience. Following the panel, attendees will be invited to participate in an audience Q&A, creating space for thoughtful dialogue, reflection, and honest questions.

What to expect if you attend:

• A structured, respectful conversation guided by a moderator
• Biblical and theological framing of justice, service, compassion, and advocacy
• Real-world application, connecting faith to issues such as poverty, equity, dignity, and community responsibility
• Local relevance, with insights tied to challenges facing Charlotte and surrounding communities
• Interactive engagement through audience questions and shared reflection
• Practical takeaways for individuals and churches seeking to live out faith beyond the sanctuary

This is not a debate, but a forum for learning, listening, and discernment—designed to help participants consider how faith becomes visible through action.
