The Oklahoma Conference of Churches invites you to a Saturday workshop introducing JustFaith, a program that empowers people of faith to develop a passion and thirst for God's justice.

Our faith invites us to some remarkable possibilities in the name of love and compassion. The vision of the Gospels and Church social teaching speaks to life-giving choices on behalf of a world that struggles to survive. Don't miss this opportunity to explore some new possibilities for your life, your church, your heart!
