Through its Biblically-based, Student and Adult Unity Lab programs, LOAM partners with schools, churches and organizations to guide participants in taking the practical steps necessary to walk out Jesus’ command for His followers to love one another. This includes having meaningful conversations about race and doing challenging work to bring about healing, restoration, and racial reconciliation.

WHAT UNITY LAB PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING

Here are some of the ways the Unity Lab has blessed the participants seeking to learn more about reconciliation:

“I gained a renewed sense of hope for God’s bride as we engaged with each other. Seeing others of different backgrounds and denominations come together to have difficult conversations centered on our faith, with an eye toward progress was extremely encouraging. I looked forward to the weekly meetings and will miss them.”

– Adult Unity Lab Participant

“The biblical passages solidified my desire for racial reconciliation and I feel armed with the Holy Spirit and the connection with the group that even in an 8 week course we can come together and make a little progress! That was encouraging. I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty of the Black participants. That had a big impact on me.”

– Adult Unity Lab Participant

“Hearing personal voices and sentiments concerning race relations from others of various races and gender ignited the desire to continue to create relationships and spaces where all are heard and understood and propelled to work positively toward a godly relationship of justice and equality for all.”
