Saturday, September 14th

Please join us for a Biblically based discussion of Christianity’s response to politics in today’s United States. This class explores the Biblical foundations of government, the role God has ordained for civil authority, the limits he has placed on that authority, the dangers and temptations Christians face in today's public square, and our responsibility as Christian citizens, sojourners, and exiles until God’s Kingdom comes.
