The Issues
Current Congregational Focus
Water
Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere. Out of sight, under our feet, groundwater is a hidden treasure that enriches our lives. Almost all the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater. As climate change gets worse, groundwater will become increasingly critical. We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource.
Environmental Justice and Ecology
“We pledge to respond to the signs of the times and continue to seek out the needs of people, by dividing the city and serving the dear neighbor without distinction by expanding our understanding and efforts to address issues of ecological justice and care for our common home.”
-2016 CSJ Visioning Statement

Housing Justice
Each day, thousands of our dear neighbors in Orange County experience hunger and homelessness. These injustices are largely faced by people who have called Orange County their home for many years, as they previously resided, worked, or had familial ties to the area. In working for the dignity of our neighbors, we must always remember the dignity of those who face food and housing insecurity.
