2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (NRSV)
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. 8 We are afflicted in every way but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair, 9 persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed.

Across generations, believers have embraced the enduring love and boundless grace of God. Like clay jars, we acknowledge the fragility of life, yet within that fragility lies the beauty of transformation. Our brokenness does not disqualify us; instead, it becomes the very place where God’s power is made visible.

We are restored, repaired, and reshaped, entrusted to carry God’s presence with a hope that cannot be broken. As a church, we live on the edge of renewal, constantly being made new, transformed into the diverse shapes, sizes, and colors that reflect the fullness of God’s vision for us.

The Age of Protopian Church

Protopias are a middle ground between dystopias (which obviously bad) and utopias (which are perfect but unattainable and therefore demoralizing. We will explore current cultural trends that are bringing hope to the younger generation and how your congregation can leverage the trends to co-create a realistic better tomorrow.
