Our Vision: The General Commission on Religion and Race envisions a fully inclusive United Methodist Church, that is accountable and proactive in addressing racism, prejudice and divisiveness; where leadership, relationships and ministries are racially and culturally inclusive; and where all members strive, as disciples of Jesus Christ, to build God’s beloved community throughout the church and the world.
Our Mission: Following the example of Jesus Christ, the General Commission on Religion and Race is leading The United Methodist Church to eradicate the sins of racism, prejudice and divisiveness throughout the church and the world by healing and empowering people, and transforming institutions to create inclusive, multicultural relationships and ministries.
