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.
Upcoming Events
Soul Sessions: A Revolutionary Bible Study will be co-taught and facilitated by our Senior Pastor Dr. Daymond Glenn and Theologian Dr. Jess Bielman.
Over the next few months, our Bible Study will focus on the Book of Luke, and our themes will center on Purpose, Hope, and Love. Even if you don't subscribe to an organized or institutional form of religion, our themes will still have relevance and help you live a life of Meaning, Being, and Purpose. And for us, that is Revolutionary!

Foundational Pillars
FOUNDER
"I envision a society where all People can live lives of Meaning, Being, and Purpose."
WHY THIS CHURCH MATTERS
“In an era of church anxiety, we need a space where People of Color can breathe, learn, and engage. I have asserted for many years now that a Hip-Hop theology offers that space. Dr. Glenn has created just that. Hip-Hop culture provides deep spiritual roots, and it’s high time we move into a relevant and culturally appropriate Christianity.”
