First and foremost, stick to the basics. Teach and preach the Bible. Disciple and evangelize. Make sure children and young people are taught and fed. Work for strong families. Gather at the Lord’s table, weekly. Learn the Psalms. Pray, pray, pray.
Second, did I mention Psalm-singing? If you want a congregation that hungers and thirsts for justice, a congregation that weeps with those who weep, and congregation prepared for discomfort, sing the Psalms, even or especially the hard ones. If they have the Psalm in their mouths, they’ll develop a taste for God’s justice, and they’ll become inoculated to various off-brand forms of pseudo-justice.
Third, call the pastor at the church down the road. Call the pastor at the next church down the road. Start a pastors' prayer group in your city, town, or village. If you’re a white pastor, call the pastor of a black church; if you’re black, call the pastor of a white church. If you’re a Catholic priest, pursue a friendship with a Pentecostal; if you’re a Presbyterian, search out the Orthodox priests in town. Contact the pastor of an immigrant congregation. Organize a day of prayer, led by the pastors of your community. Pray, pray, pray together.

two virtues are crucial. One is hope. Teach your people that, no matter what comes, the Lord is in it. No matter what happens, the Lord is opening new avenues of service, witness, and worship. The Lord dismantles and He rebuilds. It’s hard to live through demolition, but it’s also a chance to lay the foundations for rebuilding.The other is courage. Panic is everywhere, greatly amplified by social media feeds. Christians need to follow Jesus, the fearless One whose favorite exhortation to timid disciples was, Fear not.
