Pastor Kelsey's Statement

statement of nonviolence
At New Song Community Church, we proclaim that our hope is centered in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We strive to live our lives following the teachings of Jesus.
We are for all people. Especially the vulnerable and disrespected. We are grateful for every leader and neighbor who shares that commitment — and we will continue to be a place where empathy is never a weakness and no one is turned away.
Scripture instructs us to live peaceably with everyone, so long as it is within our power to do so (Romans 12:17). We uphold our commitment to building a peaceful society in line with God’s vision for all of creation.
Jesus has called us to follow in his path of non-violence as we seek justice. Though he had the power to strike down his oppressors, he instead chose love and mercy. Likewise, he commands us to love our neighbors, to feed and clothe our enemies, and to overcome evil with good.
We are grieved by the misuse of power we are witnessing today that seeks to harm people Jesus calls on us to love. We affirm our commitment to nonviolence as we seek a way forward through justice and peace.
