Where Does Social Justice fit into a Biblical Worldview?
In recent years, there’s been renewed debate over how social justice fits into the mission of the church. Is the pursuit of social justice secondary to the call to make disciples? Is it an essential part of the Gospel itself? Join Pastor Bobby Scott and other local pastors, teachers, and community leaders as we engage the discussion and ultimately consider the most important questions: what does the Bible have to say? And how should we respond?
