Impact Conversation

January 12, Sunday, 11:15AM-12:30PM, Makai Room

When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, life seemed impossible in the devastation. Yet, hidden pockets of safety—called refugia—sheltered seeds of renewal. What can these "hidden shelters" teach us about resilience, cooperation, and creating spaces for new life in our communities, cultures, and spirits?

Join us for an Impact Conversation with A Rocha USA and Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. Explore how people of faith can restore and transform our planet.

Featuring Professors Ron and Debra Rienstra, and Doctor of Ministry students from the seminary, who will make brief presentations on their doctoral work. They will be visiting First Prez to learn more about our mission to restore and transform the beautiful Koʻolau ʻaina God entrusted to our care.

Discover how YOU can become a refuge. No registration required to attend this event.

Hosted by Pastor Tim Shaw with Dr. Ben Lowe of A Rocha USA.

This presentation will also be recorded for an upcoming Biologos podcast.
