Christ & Culture: Navigating the Crisis of Our Civilization

High School Room

This four-week series with Pastor Eliseo Mejia is designed to explore how our cultural moment engages with the biblical roots of culture and to diagnose the deepest societal crises of our time. We will look at how Christ offers a robust response through the Kingdom of God, calling the Church to be a healing presence in a fractured world.

Additionally, through spiritual formation and practical mission, we, as followers of Jesus, learn to live as a faithful counterculture. Ultimately, this journey invites us to enjoy new cultural environments with Christ at its core—full of hope beyond the crisis.
