Kingdom Resources for Christ 3-day Retreat April 13-16, 2023
Is the Evangelical Church in irreparable decline?
How can we get young people more involved in local church ministry?
What key factors will lead to a vibrant resurgence in Evangelicalism?
The Evangelical movement has historically been characterized by:
Evangelistic-focused activism
Conversionism (conversion focus)
Biblicism (sola scriptura emphasis)
Crucicentrism (atonement focus)
While this may be how Evangelicalism has been typically characterized to date, is this really all that Christianity is meant to offer?
The 2023 KRC Spring Retreat (April 13-16) picks up where thinkers like Stanley J. Grenz and the Robert E. Webber left off. In the 1990s, both Christian thinkers were valiantly trying to re-envision and rethink Evangelicalism for a postmodern world—and yet, thirty years later, we’re still within the general trajectory of where they believed Evangelicalism needed to go, but socially and culturally, our whole world is also at a very different place today than the world they were facing.
As a corrective response, the above mentioned historical ingredients of Evangelicalism will be critically engaged towards a reconstructive proposal intended to internally renew the Evangelical movement towards something more holistic—this, without seeking to become “post-evangelical” or “post-conservative” (self-identifiers that some who have given up on Evangelicalism have already embraced). Instead, we’re proposing a re-constructive way forward for Evangelicalism.
