Faith in Action Ministry Team (FIA) members strive to walk with people who are enduring challenges in our society; challenges that reduce people to issues and diminish their visibility.  Poverty, discrimination, access to healthcare and education, and tries to promote fear and hatred of others affect real people and families and cause real suffering.  We want to confront these maladies with justice, hard work and radical love.  

Our Guideposts:  We are blessed to lift up ELCA’s public policy, the Rocky Mountain Synod’s (RMS) advocacy policy and our own.  Our approach is two-pronged:  Education and Advocacy.  We work through political channels on behalf of peacemaking, hospitality to strangers, care for creation, and concern for people living in poverty and struggling with hunger and disease.   We have begun to study issues specific to "Caring for Creation", an ELCA Social Statement. Currently we

are learning about our water issues, mainly in the Western U.S. We welcome all people who are willing to move mountains: God’s Work, Our Hands.  

We welcome people who like to plan for great fellowship for the Atonement Community. Follow the Events page for coming events.
