"...let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" (Amos 5:24)
Faith Community Certificate Program
Be part of a transformative educational experience linking faith and justice in Winnipeg’s Inner City
The Program
Those who enrol in the 1JustCity Faith Community Certificate program will have the opportunity to learn in community with other adults who are seeking to grow in their faith and understanding of the realities faced by those living in poverty. Participants will have the opportunity to volunteer at all of 1JustCity’s sites, meet people from different walks of life, hear engaging speakers. They will be expected to complete a project that will strengthen the connection between 1JustCity and their congregation.
​
We will be using an adult education model that is participatory, where we learn from each other and from reflecting on our experience as well as from speakers and readings. Sessions will include theological reflection and Bible study.
