Who we Are
INTRODUCTION OF US
Introduction
National Unity Weekend (NUW) is an opportunity for believers to demonstrate their faith by sharing the Bible’s transformative message of racial and ethnic unity from pulpits across the country and to practically demonstrate our oneness in Christ across racial, ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, and denominational lines, by serving the underserved in our local communities as evidence of God’s love.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”–John 17:20-21
Vision
To elevate the Christ-centered church as the key facilitator in leading our society toward racial unity and serving the needs of diverse American communities in both word and deed through teaching the Gospel and service/volunteerism (Romans 10:17, Psalm 107:20, Luke 12:33-34, Luke 14:12-14).
Mission
- National Unity Weekend is an opportunity for believ- ers to demonstrate our faith by sharing the Bible’s transformative message of racial and ethnic unity from pulpits across the country, and to practically demonstrate God’s love and our oneness in Christ across racial, ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, and denominational lines, by serving the underserved in our local communities.
- Beginning in 2023, the 2nd weekend of June each year, churches and ministries across the United States will focus on teaching and preaching a bibli- cal perspective on racial unity from a shared text – in either a single sermon or series (Acts 10:34, Gala- tians 3:28, John 13:34).
- That same weekend, volunteers will annually unite to serve underserved communities across the United States as a practical demonstration of the love in action as the Gospel commands (Matt 5:16, I John 3:18, Titus 3:8).
