Does your faith feel insufficient in the face of so much injustice in our world?
Some Christians struggle to see how Jesus calls us to confront oppression. Others feel unequipped to take meaningful action. Even experienced leaders find it challenging to integrate justice into their work.
But what if embodying your faith meant partnering with God to create wholeness — a world marked by peace, justice, and flourishing for all?

Our Vision
Christian faith in action for personal and societal renewal
Responding to God’s invitation, to live out our faith fully, in every aspect of our lives: we combine biblical scholarship with astute policy analysis to further economic justice, support interdependence, promote racial and ecological justice, and generally try to make the world a better place.
We envision a new generation of the church committed to a holistic expression of the Christian faith, motivated by a desire to fully live into the hope of reconciliation, wholeness, and restoration promised by the whole gospel. We gather people who are seeking healing from the trauma of a violent world, ministering to one another as they journey together in a brave space for dialogue, questioning, creating, and exploration, and seeking to be faithful followers of Jesus.
In partnership with Eastern University and institutional partners, CSA serves as a catalyzing agent for Christ’s shalom via projects focused on holistic ministry, political reflection, and social justice. Rather than a typical “think” tank, CSA is a “do” tank whose purpose is to provide a faith-fueled engagement with justice issues:
- to invite everyone to embrace the whole-life (body, mind, heart) Gospel of Jesus Christ;
- to equip an intergenerational movement with the spiritual and intellectual tools to catalyze social flourishing at both a systemic and a personal level; and
- to mobilize followers of Jesus to pursue peace with justice and creativity and to build cooperative relationships marked by mutual respect, love, and a commitment to ongoing dialogue across deep differences.
