Creative Power

Cross of Christ Church is passionate about seeing Orange County renewed culturally, socially, and spiritually by the Gospel of Jesus.

Cross of Christ Church

To do good work, we need a good definition of power. Join us for an evening with authors David Zahl, Joshua Ryan Butler, and pastor Alan Frow as we reflect on power through the lens of leadership, judgment, and secular religion to see that power that is good, beautiful, and true is Creative Power.
