Social Justice Groups
We are a community committed to Social Justice. While many of our members are active in various social justice causes, we have groups connected to the fellowship that are also doing the work of Social Justice.
Green Earth Ministry
GEM is the Fellowship’s environmental committee. We sponsor opportunities for advocacy for members of the congregation and educational programs for MUUF, sometimes inviting members of the wider community. All are welcome to attend our monthly meetings.

Immigration Justice Ministry supports the immigrant community through advocacy, education and service.
- In collaboration with RAMP (Refugee Assistance Morris Partners) we help refugee families find housing, education, employment and provide mentoring, tutoring and counseling.

- In collaboration with Wind of the Spirit, we support legislation to benefit immigrants and improve legal outcomes.
