the qjc ministry is asking, ‘how can we go deeper together as we seek to follow god’s mandate to love mercy, seek justice and walk humbly’? we recognize that this is not a peripheral command of our faith but a central part of our identity and we desire to go deeper in fellowship and community as we seek god’s heart together. this next year we will be creating different platforms and venues to do just that.

the quest justice and compassion ministry is hosting two awareness and community building forums in the next month. check it:

on march 15th we will be holding a depth class entitled: why the homeless? this class is typically offered two times a year. in this class we explore the questions: who are homeless? what is our call to serve? how do we dispel myths about the homeless? and more. it is a great opportunity to learn more about how we can care and reach out to our brothers and sisters who are homeless and give us an understanding of the challenges they face each day. we encourage all to come who have an interest in deepening their own knowledge and awareness, as well as commit to serving this growing population in ballard. the class is held from 9 am to 12 pm. lunch will be served. immediately following we will be hosting our ‘to the streets’ outreach and encourage those in the class to join us.

on march 17th we will be hosting our first monthly qjc meeting at q café from 7:30pm to 9:30 pm. the heart of this group is to build community around the issues of justice and compassion. it will be a learning experience, as we study together the book the dangerous act of worship: living god’s call to justice. there will be teaching, food, fellowship and community building. we encourage those who are passionate about issues of justice and compassion to come and share your heart and vision in community and meet others who are like-minded in passion. this is a monthly focus group that will meet on the third monday of every month.
