Who We are

What shapes us
OUR COMMITMENTS
1. A Theology of Justice
The heart of the conference, and the driving force behind the plenary sessions, is to speak to
the broad idea of God’s heart for justice. While ample time is given to speaking on specific
topics and instances of injustice, it is our goal to frame the conversation by highlighting the
broad concept of justice from philosophical, ethical, historical and religious perspectives.
2. Practical Engagement
We are committed to finding practical ways to involve people in justice issues—both in their
day-to-day lives at home and around the world—by providing first rate exhibitors, literature
(the Conference Bookstore), pre-conference sessions and spotlight organizations.
3. Collaborative Relationships
We are committed to pursuing creative and collaborative relationships with non-profit and for
profit justice organizations with the conviction we accomplish more when we work together
than when we work alone.
4. Leading Voices
We are committed to finding and spotlighting the highest quality national and international
voices from a broad spectrum of leaders, authors, advocates and teachers from around
the world.
5. Fiscal Responsibility
The Justice Conference is a non-profit organization and operates on a slim budget. Any excess
funds above overhead costs get distributed to the organizing institutions.
6. To Practice Justice While Promoting Justice
We are committed, as best as possible, to not commit injustices in our pursuit of justice.

ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES
1. Target Audience
The Justice Conference seeks to reach a broad audience ranging from practitioners and experts
to teachers, business people, artists, stay at home moms and everyone in between who has a
passion for justice or wants to take a first step in learning more about justice.
2. Is the conference a Christian Conference?
While the organizing organizations and many of the conference team are Christians, the
conference seeks to be a blend of about 70% faith based and 30% non-faith based in speakers
and organizations represented.
3. What is different between the main sessions and the pre-conference sessions?
The Main Session centers on a collective experience focused on a blend of education (around
the idea and theology of justice), inspiration (with a heavy emphasis on music and art) and
exposure to a few select causes and organizations (varies each year).
The primary emphasis of the pre-conference sessions is to allow conference attendees to learn
about specific issues or organizations per their choice.
4. How are speakers chosen?
Speakers are chosen by the conference leaders in consultation with the organizing institutions.
5. How are sponsors and exhibitors chosen?
The conference doesn’t choose sponsors or exhibitors. Both are paid level ways of engaging
with the conference and are initiated by like-minded organizations desirous of partnering with
The Justice Conference.
6. How is the conference location chosen?
The location for each conference is chosen based on geography (weather), location and
demographic, partnering organizations in the area and a viable host church. The final decision
is made by the Conference Director in consultation with the Executive Director and the
organizing institutions.
