Everyone is unique and made in the image of God.

The Central South District acknowledges the diversity in the world:  abilities, age, beliefs, culture, experience, gender, language, race, skills and values.  Everyone is unique and made in the image of God. We welcome the contribution from each individual that enhances our knowledge and understanding of others.  Our commitment is to nurture and support our communities in the progress toward greater health and financial stability, through educational opportunities. 

One of the focal areas of the Central South District is social justice advocacy for racial reconciliation.
