Matthew 25

Matthew 25 in the PC(USA)

Welcome to the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.’s Matthew 25 movement. This transformative initiative calls on mid councils, congregations, and groups to live out the church’s mission through bold and compassionate discipleship. Rooted in Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 25:31-46, this movement invites you to engage in three core pillars: building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty.

Building congregational vitality empowers churches to be vibrant, engaging communities of faith. By fostering spiritual growth and community involvement, congregations create dynamic spaces for individuals to connect with God and each other in meaningful ways.

Dismantling structural racism is a call to acknowledge and address the deep-seated racial injustices that pervade our society. We strive to create inclusive, equitable communities by promoting awareness, understanding, and action to eliminate racism in all its forms.

Eradicating systemic poverty involves addressing the root causes of economic inequality and providing support to those in need. Through advocacy, service, and partnership, we work to create just systems and opportunities for all people to thrive.

The Matthew 25 movement’s three intersectional priorities include addressing climate change, militarism, gender justice, and heteropatriarchy. These priorities are intertwined with our core pillars, recognizing that true transformation requires a holistic approach to justice and compassion.

Join us in this journey of faith and action. Together, we can make a profound impact and bring the vision of a just and loving world to life.
