Anti-Racist.
We can Help.

Are you an individual, church, school, non-profit, or business looking for training, facilitation, or faith formation resources ? Bring our signature Race+Faith workshop to your church or organization, or contact us to customize a solution that best meets your needs.

"This class opened me wide up and shook me awake to what is happening around the topic of race and lovingly informed me I can no longer let myself be asleep. If we are called to right and just relationship with our brothers and sisters, then we are not free to abandon them simply because race isn’t “our” issue. It is everyone’s issue and we have a responsibility to face what is happening and do our part to turn the tide towards reconciliation and wholeness." - Race & Faith Participant
