  • Edgehill has long been a member of Nashville Organized for Action and Hope (NOAH). NOAH is a faith-led coalition that is multi-racial and interdenominational. Comprised of congregations, community organizations, and labor unions, our members work to give voice to traditionally marginalized people.

    NOAH engages ordinary people in the political and economic decisions affecting their lives, acting as a unified voice for the faith and justice community to act on its values in the public arena. NOAH does not endorse political candidates but gets them to endorse our issues agenda, and pledge to work with NOAH if they are elected.

    Edgehill is deeply invested in the work of NOAH. Click here to learn more about NOAH. Contact us to learn more about getting involved with Edgehill’s work with NOAH.
