Rev. Brian Kirk, pastor of First Christian Church of St. Joseph, MO, has recently been publicly attacked for his support of the LGBTQIA+ community. A nearby minister has led a campaign to prevent Rev. Kirk from being reappointed to the nonpartisan public library Board of Trustees. Read more about this situation.
The Action Team of our Upper Midwest region’s Anti-Racism/Pro-Reconciliation (ARPR) team has drafted a letter of support to send to First Christian Church (DOC), St. Joseph, MO; Rev. Kirk; the St. Joseph, MO library board; and the St. Joseph major and city council. We invite all who feel moved to sign this letter of support by July 16, 2023. Click here to sign the letter
