Statements on Racial and Ethnic Justice

Seekers Church opposes White supremacy and racism. We acknowledge and confront the difficult history of White supremancy and racism that we and other Christian churches have perpetuated. We seek to dismantle White supremacy and systemic racism in ourselves, in our faith community, in our nation and in our world by better aligning our word and actions to the hopes and teachings of Jesus.

Seekers Church joins the call for permanent peace and enduring justice in Palestine, Lebanon, and Israel

As Christians, and embracing the Seekers commitment to “work for the end of all war, both public and private,” we deeply grieve the enormous loss of lives in Palestine, Lebanon, and Israel which has escalated since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. We know the roots of this conflict are deep and complex, and cannot be divorced from the long history of antisemitism and attacks against Jews, from the displacement and oppression of Palestinians, or from thousands of years of history that tie both peoples to this land.

However, we cannot stand by in silence while our government provides military aid that is victimizing civilians in Palestine and Lebanon on a massive scale.  To that end, we call upon the government of the United States to suspend financial and tactical support for the Israeli military until Israel respects international law regarding the protection of civilians.
