Feb. 9: Redefining Strength, Leadership, and Justice

Theme for February: Black History, Resilience, and Collective Liberation

What does power serve?
Masculinity shapes relationships, communities, and systems of power—for better or worse. Strength is more than force. Leadership is more than control. What does it mean to cultivate a power that protects, restores, and holds integrity at its core?

This service explores evolving models of masculinity, faith’s role in shaping justice-centered leadership, and the rejection of dominance in favor of accountability and care.

View the Digital Order of Service here on Sunday morning. (Updated each week before worship.)
