Our programs & initiatives are the places where CSA lives out its mission to stir the imagination for a fuller expression of Christian faithfulness and a more just society. Each one is shaped by the conviction that God longs for the full flourishing of all people, especially those who are vulnerable or pushed to the margins. Through these efforts, we bring people together to reflect theologically, form spiritually, and act courageously — cultivating communities marked by justice, peace, and gospel-rooted hope.
Christians disagree on what constitutes a faithful living out of our sexuality and gender, but unity is still possible — a unity that is deeper than agreement—and so is true Christian community. Find out how we’re working together to help the Body of Christ be oriented to love!

The Racial Justice Institute develops a variety of experiences (pilgrimages, discussions, media, writing, video, etc.) that engage people of faith around issues of identity, history and justice at the intersection of race as a social issue.
