The Midsouth Journey to Mosaic (J2M) is an immersive discipleship experience, exploring through a biblical lens, the historical and present-day racial stories, injustices, and realities in the Midsouth Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church. J2M is in the tradition of the Civil Rights Freedom Rides and of Christian pilgrimage... we are going on an actual journey with fellow believers. J2M is discipleship-focused; the goal is to experience the Holy Spirit’s leading and formation in how to walk faithfully with Christ with a clear-eyed view of our racial past and present.
