About the conference

The Redeemer Christianity & Contemporary Culture Conference creates space for Christians to learn and apply the lens of the Gospel to issues that are relevant both in our culture and for the church. This 2022 conference is Public Grace: The Role of the Church in a Fractured Society.

We live in a time of deepening division, when every issue feels politically charged and controversy fuels our public discourse. What is the role of the church in these fractured times? What does the Bible have to say about how Christians should engage matters of public policy? Should the church have a voice in the public square? How do we love and seek to understand our neighbors when we have significant differences? How does the Gospel equip us to be agents of healing and reconciliation in a culture of conflict?

Join us for Redeemer’s 2022 Christianity & Contemporary Culture Conference, Public Grace: The Role of the Church in a Fractured Society. Our speakers will lead and encourage us as we turn to the Scriptures for guidance and consider what role God is calling us to play as Christians and as a Christian community in an increasingly-polarized world. Register today!
