Just Faith: Teaches Advocacy for the Poor

Spend some time talking with local Just Faith graduates and you’ll frequently hear the word “life-changing.”

Whether they devote more time to advocating for the poor, see Jesus in new places or change their buying habits, the Just Faith program tends to have a lasting impact on their lives — and sometimes on entire communities...

Area churches offering the Just Faith program include First Presbyterian Church of Richland; St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Benton Harbor; and, starting this fall, St. Martin of Tours Episcopal Church, in Kalamazoo Township, which is offering the program in partnership with Open Doors Kalamazoo, formerly known as Open Door and Next Door Shelters.
