Our Vision

Empower Hampton Roads will be a recognized, organized, interfaith force creating equity for all people in a just and united Hampton Roads region.

Guiding Principles

• We are informed, knowledgeable, educated, and credible when we speak about issues.

• We respect the basic dignity and value of all people, especially when we argue issues.

• We respect the different faith traditions of our member congregations and the freedom of all to speak and pray from their own faith traditions.

• We know there is powerful unity in our diversity, because we all share the empowerment of a common belief in a just and united Hampton Roads region.

• We speak with integrity.

• We believe that the results of our work are in greater hands than ours; our work in bringing about justice and unity in our regions is an act of actualizing our faith.
