What is the United in Faith Coalition?

A new network of progressive churches and people of faith in Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties, and some folks in Ellensburg! 

Join as a lay leader in your church or as an individual member of the community.

Purpose: to unite people of faith to boldly speak against the tyranny of the current administration and work together for justice, the rule of law, and civil rights. By coming together, we embolden each other and our neighbors, our church leaders, our politicians, support our civic institutions, and bear witness to a God of justice and love in solidarity with people of faith across our state and country.

Coalition: Create a group of lay leaders from each church to work together to define the work and scope of the coalition, create a communication network for inter-church conversation and rapid response, set goals for the common work together, identify needs in the community, and prepare for possible future authoritarian actions that require a collective response.

Can Pastors Join? Yes, Pastors can join the coalition.

Possible joint actions for the coalition:

• Make statements to state and local legislators, to news agencies.
