Administer Justice | Gospel Justice Center
Third Saturday of Each Month | 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Butterfield
Every year, more than 40 million people are unable to find legal help. This includes single moms, veterans, and senior citizens. One in five Americans qualify for legal help with housing, family relationships and employment, but less than half will find the help they need.
What is a Gospel Justice Center?
The Gospel Justice Center is a team of passionate individuals who care about God’s heart for justice. Together they empower vulnerable neighbors with the help of a lawyer and the hope of God’s love.
Once a month for four hours, team members gather to “do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God" (Micah 6:8).
What Makes a Gospel Justice Center unique?
For more than 20 years, Administer Justice has equipped volunteers to expand access to justice and Jesus for neighbors in need. The model is uniquely:
- Affirming dignity & sustainability
- Biblical & holistic
- Church-led, team-supported & neighborhood-based
To schedule an appointment for legal help, go to AdministerJustice.org/GetHelp or call (855) 818-4554.
