The Center for Christ & Culture was established in response to the spiritual apathy, theological confusion, and cultural indifference of the professing Christian church in America.

The twentieth century saw unprecedented cultural and religious upheavals throughout the Western world and America.  Secular humanistic modernism replaced the Christian social and moral consensus while the church became increasingly a-theological and culturally indifferent at best and antagonistic at worst. Evangelicalism, generally speaking, descended into a sophomoric shadow of its former self, offering little in the way of a meaningful response to its myriad of ideological and spiritual challengers. The gospel of the kingdom was reduced to the gospel of personal salvation, therapeutic goods, and decisional theology. The American church went from being an essential social institution and morally authoritative community to a socially irrelevant organization made up of voluntary members absent any cultural authority. Increasingly detached from historic orthodoxy, Christianity in America drifted toward politicization—intent on preserving certain values through the power of the state—rather than advancing an alternative kingdom: the kingdom of God.

By every measureable account, the facts reveal that the church in America has lost its way, having become confused about its mission and purpose. The Center for Christ & Culture, under the leadership of its founder and president, S. Michael Craven represents a new generation of prophetic Christian leaders who are committed to reformation and renewal of the church through serious research, writing, speaking, and teaching.

We live in an incredibly exciting and momentous time in the history of God’s people. We are more optimistic than ever that God is moving among us to restore his church in this nation in this generation and our desire is to advance his will “on earth as it is in heaven.”
