RECONCILIATION MINISTRIES

Regional Reconciliation Grants

The Reconciliation Committee of Northern California-Nevada provides grants to congregations seeking to empower marginalized communities or foster relationships with marginalized communities. In this way, we hope to help the congregations of this region live out Jesus' first public act of ministry when (Luke 4:17-19): He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." We receive grants in February and June. The following is the link for grant applications: Grant Application.pdf

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Award

Each year, the CCNC-N recognizes the great achievements for justice that have been contributed by Disciples in this region. The people who win the award (by nomination) exemplify the qualities of Dr. King.

Previous Award Winners are:
  • 2007: Robert Lemon, who gave his life's ministry to justice, including the migrant farm workers' movement with Cesar Chavez, even when his commitment to justice cost him his church.
  • 2008: Sandy Perry, who in partnership with new Disciples church Community Homeless Alliance Ministries and First Christian Church of San Jose continues to march and speak and write and coordinate mass actions for justice in the South Bay.
  • 2009: Carl and Esther Robinson, who have worked for justice for migrant farm workers and all those on the margins, including GLBT people, even when it cost them their church.
  • 2010: Ben and Marianne Fraticelli, whose lives of Reconciliation and Racial Justice span 4 decades and three countries including work to empower Urban youth in Oakland, farm workers in the Central Valley, and youth throughout the CCNC-N.
To nominate someone for the region's Martin Luther King Award, please send in the following form: link to the nomination form.


THE DISCIPLES 20/20 VISION AND RECONCILIATION

The Christian Church of Northern California-Nevada recognizes that God calls us to embrace the diversity of the world around us! Likewise, we recognize that in the course of our church's history, we have fallen short of that call, and that the sin of racism and other forms of oppression keep us from being in full relationship with our God. For that reason, the CCNC-N has embraced the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)'s 2020 Vision to become an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, pro-reconciling church by the year 2020! Below is information on the ways we're striving to achieve this dream of God's realm on earth.
