About Us
From the Hebrew prophets to the Christian gospels, scripture calls us to bring God's justice to the world. God's justice demands that all people share fairly in the abundance of God's creation Missouri IMPACT's purpose is to be a grassroots network of persons across Missouri, who, out of concern for justice on the basis of religious and moral convictions, seek to influence public policy in Missouri.
People of Faith. Missouri IMPACT partners believe in a God of Compassion. As people of faith, we believe that God calls us to service, to share the burden of all who suffer, to care about what happens to children, the sick, the poor, the homeless. Missouri IMPACT is engaged in a political ministry to answer this call to service.
With a United Voice. Missouri IMPACT works for public policy which reflects justice, peace, and the common good. By engaging in public policy advocacy in the political arena the religious community can witness to a vision of social justice focused on the common good.
Partners for Justice. IMPACT's ambitious goal is to involve the pastor or associate pastor and one or more parishioners of member judicatory congregations as "MO IMPACT Partners for Justice." Individual partners will be linked with thousands of other activists in the statewide MO IMPACT Network.
Partners will receive frequent e-mail alerts during the legislative session. Partners will also be invited to a Missouri IMPACT legislative Briefing and Lobby Day in Jefferson City. Contact the Missouri IMPACT office for additional information.
