What is the Perkins Justice Pilgrimage?

The Perkins Justice Pilgrimage is an invitation to walk sacred ground — to step into the living story of faith, suffering, courage, and hope that has shaped Mississippi and beyond. This is more than a historical tour. It is a journey of the heart.

As we move through places marked by injustice and redemption, you will discover how your own spiritual journey is deeply connected to the land beneath your feet and the people whose stories still echo there. Together, we will immerse ourselves in the story of the Perkins family, the broader Civil Rights Movement, and the unfolding Biblical story of justice, reconciliation, and beloved community.

Along the way, we reflect — not only on what happened then, but on what it means for how we live now. How do we carry courage? How do we pursue justice? How do we embody reconciliation in our own communities?

Join us for this sacred and transformative experience — where history meets faith, where lament meets hope, and where your story is woven into God’s ongoing story of redemption.

Custom Perkins Justice Pilgrimage

Every community carries its own questions, its own longing, its own call to deeper faithfulness. That’s why we offer customized Perkins Justice Pilgrimages designed specifically for your church, organization, school, or leadership team.

Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, leadership formation, racial reconciliation dialogue, or a deeper understanding of justice rooted in the gospel, we will prayerfully shape the experience to meet your group where you are.

Together, we will walk sacred spaces, engage honest history, open Scripture, and create room for courageous conversations. Your group will not simply observe the story — you will step into it.

Let us help you design a pilgrimage that strengthens community, deepens conviction, and awakens a shared commitment to live out justice, reconciliation, and beloved community wherever God has planted you.
