The Race & Christian Community Initiative’s Community Gathering & Fundraiser

What will the Church’s response be to the racial injustice we see in our world?

In a time of tension, polarization, and rampant racism, it’s critical that the Church be a witness and further Christ’s redemptive work in the world.

As many of us are facing challenging questions and girding ourselves for the journey ahead, we invite you to join us in community. Come together to be refreshed, to be inspired, and to be equipped for the journey ahead.

Join us at RCCI’s community gathering and fundraiser on Saturday April 5, 2025. It will be an opportunity to:

  • Fellowship and break bread with Christians who care about racial justice.
  • Experience music, Christian practices and creative exercises that can inspire you to continue in the work of racial healing and justice.
  • Explore programs and resources that can equip you or your congregation to respond to racism as an outworking of your faith.
  • Invest in biblically-based discipleship that equips the Church to build shalom across racial lines by making a financial gift to RCCI.

Our community gathering and fundraiser will be held from 5:00 to 7:30 pm. at 2nd Church of Dorchester, located at 44 Moultrie St., in Dorchester, MA. This location is MBTA accessible, ADA accessible, and welcoming to people of all ages.

RSVP here.

To learn more about RCCI, including our focus on educating white evangelicals and our commitment to follow the leadership of people of color and to serve the whole church, visit www.egc.org/race.

RCCI Multiracial Collective Action Community Meet & Greet

Emmanuel Gospel Center’s Race and Christian Community Initiative is developing a Multiracial Collective Action Community for Christians who desire to take practical steps to contribute to the dismantling of racism. We are looking for justice-loving BIPOC folks and white folks who are RCCI cohort alum or have commensurate experience.

We envision this group taking collective action to support equity building, BIPOC-led initiatives. This action would be supported by training, reflection, and fellowship as well as race-specific support and accountability that increases folks’ capacity to collaborate effectively across racial lines.

We invite you to learn more and speak into this opportunity at a gathering on Saturday September 30th from 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm on the Rose Kennedy Greenway by the Aquarium T Station. RSVP HERE! 

It will be a chance to…

-Get to know other Christians interested in taking action

-Hear about what RCCI is imagining for our multiracial collective action community

-Shape this vision together

-Explore next steps

We’ll have some hot drinks and snacks to enjoy together. Please come and invite a friend. Bring your own picnic blanket or chair. 

RSVP at tinyurl.com/rccimcac.

For more information, visit egc.org/rcci-action-communities.

If it rains, we will meet at Boston Harbor Community Church in the North End (9 Salutation St, Boston, MA 02109). 

This is the same day as Unite Boston’s “Again I Say Rejoice” Worship Concert at 4pm. We encourage you come early to connect with RCCI and then walk over to the concert across the Greenway!
