To The Ezekiel Project
We are an interfaith interracial, congregation-centered organization that addresses social justice issues and moves for systemic change within the Great Lakes Bay Region. We are led by a board with clergy and lay representatives from our member congregations. We are a part of the Gamaliel Network, a network of community organizing projects which connects Ezekiel to similar organizations across the nation. The Network provides training, program assistance, and professional development.
