The Creation Project

Hope Church is blessed to have received the John Stott Award for Pastoral Engagement, facilitated by the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, our denomination’s divinity school. The Stott Award is for participation in the Creation Project, which gives select congregations the opportunity to integrate science and the Christian faith, and more specifically, God’s world and God’s Word. One of the primary purposes of the Henry Center and the Creation Project is for Christians in local churches like ours to foster a “humble intellectualism,” where the life of the mind is pursued as part of a rigorous and faithful spiritual life.
