IDEA
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the Central Mission Center IDEA Committee is to reflect and support Jesus’ message of inclusion by celebrating human diversity, creating a culture of belonging, addressing systemic inequities, and eliminating barriers to each person’s growth and development.
In addition to the more widely recognized days of remembrance and celebration, the Central Mission IDEA Committee reminds us that February is a time when other groups in our community stop and remember what’s important to them.
