Crescendo Justice Journey

February 22–26, 2027

Charleston, South Carolina

Held annually the last week of February
Travel days are Monday and Friday

The mission of Crescendo Justice Journey is to partner with the 60+ community in their discipleship growth toward racial righteousness.

For the past journeys, led by Debbie Blue and Krisann Jarvis Foss, Crescendo has undertaken the transformative Charleston Sankofa journeys. These experiences served as the cornerstone for what is now the Crescendo Justice Journey, an ongoing initiative in partnership with the Evangelical Covenant Church’s Love Mercy Do Justice ministry priority.

As we move forward, we are excited to expand our reach to include an intergenerational group. We invite you to be part of this impactful journey and join us in shaping a future rooted in justice and mercy.
