What is Civil Righteousness?

Civil Righteousness is a movement that seeks Kingdom solutions to healing racial wounds in our nation. As justice and righteousness are the foundation of God’s eternal throne, true justice cannot be a reality unless it pours from the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Civil Righteousness is:

  • A prayer-fueled justice movement focusing on the most challenging issues in America
  • A reconciliation movement applying the Gospel to historic divisions in the US
  • A righteousness movement taking the Gospel to broken communities

“If we believe that God’s vision for the church is one unified body, then we must acknowledge that the enemy has been hard at work to destroy that vision”
