The Cultural Soul Project is a new church in Portland, Oregon where our ministry exists at the intersection of race, faith, hip-hop, and justice.

Through the lens of the Black experience, we are remixing the church to curate a Beloved community for all People who have been shaped by life on the margins.

And for us, that is Revolutionary!
