What we do

We take a three-pronged approach to addressing gun violence

Prayer

Join us for monthly prayer and prayer vigils honoring those who have been lost to gun violence. We seek the courage to be instruments of peace and healing in a world that desperately needs both.

Education

Understanding is the first step toward change. We provide resources and learning opportunities to deepen awareness of the realities of gun violence and evidence-based violence prevention strategies.

Advocacy

Our faith compels us to act. Join us by participating in initiatives and partnerships aimed at influencing evidence-based legislation that will reduce gun violence and support affected communities.
