Educational Series
Three-Week Series Sundays: January 18, 25, and February 1
at 9:45 AM
​
Join Dr. Rick Elgendy for an engaging series that explores how Christian faith intersects with the public square. This three-week program examines public theology and the ways nations develop their own quasi-religious narratives and rituals that can compete with or complement gospel values. We'll investigate invisible "principalities and powers"—the spiritual dimensions of social structures and institutions—and critically assess Christian nationalism's attempts to merge religious and national identity in light of God's kingdom.

Special sermon on February 1 at 11:00 AM:
Dr. Elgendy will preach during worship.
