Inspired by the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Beloved Community is a place where injustice ends and love begins. According to The King Center, it is a society built on justice, peace, and harmony achieved through nonviolence.

Our church is partnering with Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley to build more than homes, together we are building bridges across differences. In a world that often feels divided, we are committed to creating the Beloved Community right here at home. We invite you to help build a community rooted in love and inclusion.

( 1 )

The violence, oppression, inequity, injustice, and hate in our world has to stop.

( 2 )
I have a responsibility and role to play in creating social change
for a more just, humane, equitable, and peaceful world.

( 3 )
The decision is mine whether to do nothing in this moment,
or to have the courage to stand up for justice.

And I have made my decision.

Starting today, I make a personal choice to BE LOVE.

I pledge to allow love to drive my thoughts, words, decisions, and actions,
and honor the humanity of every individual.

I pledge to speak the truth to power in love.

I pledge to focus on defeating injustice and not destroying the person.

I pledge to support leaders who demonstrate a love for humanity.

I pledge to promote unity and refuse to perpetuate or magnify division.

I pledge to demonstrate a life of courage, care, and compassion
as I boldly confront anything that stands in opposition to love.

By signing this pledge, I’m helping to create what
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called
The Beloved Community.
