Back in 2020, Venture Church Network invited Dr. Todd Miles to help us think through the relationship between the church and politics. The goal was to enable us to shepherd our people through a contentious election season. The upcoming election cycle promises to be just as divisive.
We have a unique opportunity to proclaim the Gospel and point people to Jesus in a way that builds unity. A biblical view of government, politics, and political leaders will help us know how to better shepherd people who might be struggling to make sense of things.
Join us on Tuesday, February 27, from 10-3 at Church on the Hill as we address the topic about Politics and the Church. Todd Miles from Western Seminary will be speaking on how to navigate differing political views while finding unity in Christ. As the Professor of Theology at Western Seminary, it is Dr. Miles desire to help equip local church leaders in ways that make way for our theology to bear weight on both the church and state.
