The Third Option City

UNIFYING ONE CITY AT A TIME

What is a Third Option City?

A community that rejects the "Us vs Them" mentality while pursuing the third option of honoring our similarities while celebrating our uniqueness.

How you can pursue racial unity...

Third Option Cities occur when 8 pillars are actively committed to pursue racial unity by honoring our similarities while celebrating our individual uniqueness.

FAITH

The gospel is centered around unity, hope, and reconciliation which are all of the same principles that The Third Option book is based off of. We created a non-profit called A Race For Unity whose main goal is committed to equipping the faith community to pursue racial unity by honoring our similarities while celebrating our individual differences. We strongly believe that the local church has a major role to play in being part of the active solution towards racial reconciliation and want to equip you and your church with the tools and resources to make that happen.
