What We Believe

At Enth Church, our faith is deeply rooted in the prophetic tradition of Christ and shaped by a commitment to justice, creativity, and community. These foundational beliefs guide how we live, worship, and work together to embody a transformative gospel that speaks to the heart of our world today.

Our Theology

Our theology is centered on the Prophetic Gospel of Christ and shaped by the promises of the prophetic literature “to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living” (Amos 5:24, NLT).

We embody the gospel as a prophetic people who proclaim good news, reclaim what has been forsaken, and participate in God’s justice by restoring what’s been broken, healing what’s been wounded, and making whole what’s been denied.

We understand Blackness as a lived experience, a cultural sensibility, and a sacred lens through which we see God’s justice, community, and transformation at work in the world. It is not a limit but a liberating perspective that invites all people to imagine what is possible.

Our ministry lives at the intersection of race, faith, hip-hop, and justice, drawing from prophetic and liberation traditions around the world. These traditions teach us that faith must be embodied, art can be sacred, and justice is the visible expression of God’s love in community.

Prophetic Hip-Hop Theory shapes how we approach culture, authenticity, identity, and creative expression. We recognize the rhythm of testimony and storytelling as powerful tools for truth and resistance.

Our Theological Lineage

Our theological lineage includes the prophets of scripture and the prophetic voices who carried that witness into modern history, from the freedom songs of the enslaved to the Black Power Statement of 1966, when the National Committee of Negro Churchmen called the nation to repentance and the church to justice. Their words echo through our ministry as we live out the prophetic gospel of Christ in our time.

We also draw from prophetic and liberation theologians like James Cone, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Kelly Brown Douglas, and Delores S. Williams. Each speaks to a different dimension of the prophetic arc that shapes Enth Church. Cone and Gutiérrez call us to liberation that transforms systems and restores community. Douglas teaches that faith must confront racial injustice wherever it lives, and Williams reminds us that survival and imagination are sacred forms of resistance. Together, they reveal that theology is not only what we believe, but how we live, hope, and build.

Our history includes the prophetic movements that led to the end of apartheid in South Africa, Latin American base communities, and the urban ministry movements of the United States. These moments stand as living testimonies that God’s Spirit is always moving among those shaped by struggle, calling forth courage, justice, and renewal.

We are part of a global and historical community of believers who see the gospel as spiritual, personal, and social.

Our Commitment

We are committed to meeting the needs of all people seeking wholeness, justice, and renewal. Through an innovative partnership with the progressive strands of the United Methodist Church, we are forming a new expression of ministry that reflects the realities and rhythms of our world today.

Enth Church is the operating name for The Cultural Soul Project, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every tax-deductible gift strengthens our ministry of faith, creativity, and justice as we build the Beloved Community and spread joy to the Enth degree.
