At Life Canton, we are committed to bearing the torch of Christ’s justice and love. Revelation 7:9 presents an image of a future day when all people of all backgrounds and all ethnicities will join together to worship God. We want to bring that future into the present. But it will take some work through learning and proximity.
Listen to this sermon on God’s heart for justice and therefore, our heart toward justice. If you have any questions or want further discussion with us, reach out to us HERE.

conciliation
Reconciliation assumes that there was Conciliation at one point between different ethnicities. With the exception of Genesis 1&2, there was never a time in history when humanity was wholly conciliatory. We are part of a greater body of believers in our denomination called the Evangelical Covenant Church that recognizes this work. There is a more holistic and global effort to pursue greater unity. Check out some additional resources HERE.
Listen to this sermon on God’s heart for diversity. We believe that our diversity is a reflection of God’s diversity. God—within himself—is loving, unified, diverse community. We call that the Trinity. If you have more questions about that, reach out to us HERE.
