In June 2023, members and friends of OneFaith Community Church, people of different ethnicities and backgrounds, came together to break bread and talk about Juneteenth. We shared our thoughts and frustrations around the way our society has dealt with race and voiced our hope for change that the world so desperately needs. What followed was a read of the book How to Heal our Racial Divide and a 4-part study led by the book’s author, Dr. Derwin L. Gray. We learned to recognize in scripture that God’s opportunity for redemption and salvation is meant for all people equally and what that means for our interactions with one another.

In February 2024, Pastor Johnson joined his friends Dr. Jim Denison and Dr. Mark Turman for a conversation on biblical equality and racism in the context of Black History Month. Click here to listen to the podcast.
