Kingdom Justice Summit 2018

March 2, 2018

Kingdom Justice Summit is an annual event that asks, “What is Kingdom Justice?” and “What might it look like lived out in our city?”

This Theology of Justice forum featured Nicole Baker Fulgham, Tim Mackie, and Propaganda as they explored a theology of justice through presentation, music, and art. This creative evening will challenge us to view justice through a historical Christian lens.
