A soulful and spiritual experience of music, connection and community featuring our Davening Team musicians.

For our special Green Shabbat, we are honoring Reverend AC Churchill, Executive Director of Earth Ministry/WAIPL with our "Heroes of Faith" award.

Each year, our congregation gives the "Heroes of Faith" award to one of our interfaith partners who shows a commitment to interfaith partnerships and the shared pursuit of social justice.

Rev. AC Churchill has been with Earth Ministry/WAIPL since 2022 as the Executive Director. They are an ordained minister within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) tradition and come to the work of environmental justice as an expression of their deep commitment to participating in healing, justice, and transformation. They view the work of environmental justice to be intrinsically connected to anti-racism and pro-reconciliation work and have over a decade’s worth of experience working in and with faith communities as a faith-rooted organizer, most recently in Dallas, TX. 

AC has a Masters of Divinity from Brite Divinity School, in Forth Worth, Texas, and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. They are excited to be a Southern transplant into the PNW and are looking forward to setting down roots and building community across the state. When not working for justice, AC likes to dabble in woodworking, explore new cultures and customs with their family, and does not often sit still.
