An NCD trip to see gospel truth and ground truth on race & ethnicity
This year, we are again inviting a small group of NCD pastors and church leaders to Montgomery, Alabama. The goals for this trip are simple; we want to see ground truth on race and ethnicity. We want to grow in our understanding of our nation’s troubling, mixed history. Most of all, we want to wrestle with these issues and think about how to lean toward the issues with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of God.
During the trip, we will visit the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and have time for discussion and reflection.
Not sure if this trip is for you? Here are a few key questions to help you decide if God might be leading you to join us.
- Do you want (need?) to grow in your understanding of our history on race and ethnicity?
- Have you recognized your need to better understand how these things affect your congregation and community?
- Are you tired of the polarized and politicized way our culture addresses race and ethnicity? Do you want help seeing them through the lens of gospel and scripture?
- Could God be leading you to help our NCD family of churches make gospel-shaped progress in this area?
- Are you looking for safe people and a safe place to see ground truth, filter it through gospel and scripture, and grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ in this area?
In 2024, the NCD hosted an event with Dr. Thaddeus Williams called “Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth.” That event can help you understand our heart and goals for this trip. You can find more info on our event recap page here.
If you are interested in hearing more about the trip, or more broadly, the issues it is intended to shed light upon, please reach out to any of our NCD staff.
