Dr. Perkins has served as an advisor to several US Presidents on poverty related matters. In the words of Dr. Metzger, “We want to inspire people across the nation to pursue a biblical vision of truth and justice where the all-consuming love of Jesus consumes those things that divide us like race and class barriers.” To kick off the partnership, Drs. Perkins and Metzger will be speaking at all three services at Imago Dei Community in Portland on Sunday, February 17th, and at Multnomah’s chapel service at 10 AM on Tuesday, February 19th at Central Bible Church.
