About Our Organization:
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that brings white people into
fights for racial and economic justice. We work to build the white flank of multiracial majorities
fighting for the things all communities need. We organize white people by engaging their shared
interest-- what they stand to gain by joining alongside people of color. We do this through 150+
local chapters across the US and Canada, a National Membership base, and local base building
projects in the South.
Description:
The Congregational Coach (herein called “the Coach”) will support congregations through a nine month training program that organizes churches to respond to Christian nationalism that is hosted by Showing Up for Racial Justice Education Fund and the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice. The Coach will support congregational leadership teams in conducting one-on-one campaigns to clarify a vision for the congregation. The Coach will support these teams in designing and implementing plans for organizing campaigns, survival strategies, and or spiritual formation. These strategies will be used to build thriving congregations, and to lessen the impact of Christian nationalism.
