The BEYOND WORDS Movement continues to model authentic, life-giving relationships across economic, racial, and social divides.

We launched BWM in 2020 to confront structural injustice and systemic racism; this movement has become a powerful witness to unity, courage, and transformational community across the country. Against the odds, Pastor Sandy and Pastor Mattie remain steadfast in advancing this strategic mission locally, right here in Chicago, and in unapologetically answering the call for such a time as this.

Their leadership continues to inspire individuals, churches, and communities to move beyond conversation and into meaningful action. If you are a local church, faith leader, or community member committed to going BEYOND WORDS, we invite you to join this important gathering in Oak Park, IL, on Sunday, July 19th.

Together, let's build bridges, foster understanding, and advance the work of justice and reconciliation.
