What Are We About?

We are developing a movement of Christian men who have the untapped desire to see divisiveness and racism in the church come to an end. We don’t pretend that we have a quick fix. But what we do have is Jesus on our side. And we have the willingness to come together despite our differences and work with each other. The answers we seek stem from us getting to know each other. From this humble start of building strong multicultural relationships’, the love we have for one another will spread to our churches, families, and our communities. It will take time but if we are willing to put the time into build these meaningful relationships and to spread our experiences together daily, our time of making a difference effecting lasting change is at hand.

Purpose

Regarding Small Groups

WHY JOIN A SMALL GROUP?

Small groups are a chance to take a first step toward building relationships. Unity small groups are generally multi-racial, hybrid groups. There’s a mixture of in-person meetups, zoom meetings and large group activities. It allows men to work on friendships over time and build understanding and reconciliation, as God leads in each man’s life. Each man is responsible for intentionally building bridges with his brothers and hearing God’s voice for next steps in his personal justice journey.
