Description
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God”- Micah 6:8
Welcome to Just Love Bristol!
We’re a group of Christian students passionate about social justice
We believe in a God who cares for the vulnerable and who wants us to do the same. But looking out at our city, our country, and our world, we see so much inequality and hurt – it can be overwhelming!
So at Just Love Bristol (JLB) we aim to create a space where we can support and encourage one another to start tackling injustice where we are.
What would it look like for us to share Jesus’ concern for the marginalized, and act on this in every aspect of our lives?
We want to be a community that’s confident in our identity as children of God, inspired by scripture, and rooted in prayer.
Whatever place you’re at – interested in what the Bible has to say about social justice, passionate about a specific issue, or keen to do something to help our city - we’d love to follow God’s heart for justice with you.
We’re a Christian society, but anyone is welcome at all of our events.
