Beloveds,

We are living in a time where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is too often being twisted from a message of freedom, justice, and liberation into one that protects empire, power, and oppression. But that is not the Gospel Jesus preached, taught, and lived.

This Juneteenth season, we want to reclaim and wrestle with the liberating message found in the life and teachings of Jesus. Not a comfortable or sanitized Gospel, but a Gospel that speaks to freedom, identity, resistance, justice, and transformation.

Join us every Wednesday in June at 6 PM for our Juneteenth Bible Study series featuring four amazing AME pastors engaging faith through the lens of liberation and Black history.

Come ready to think deeply, ask hard questions, and grow spiritually and socially.

Celebrate freedom. Seek truth. Follow Jesus.
