Critical conversations in the church? Yup!

Theology Lab is an online learning community supported by Highrock Church in Boston, MA. We believed nuanced conversations in the church are essential for a healthy, vibrant faith. As a church, we value courage (fostering resilient faith and convictions), curiosity (a faith that seeks understanding) and compassion (loving our neighbors as we would ourselves).

Scott Rice (ThD, resident theologian) organizes the Theology Lab. Alongside Scott, Greg Fung and Kristin T. Lee help host Theology Lab conversations that connect theological ideas with questions of everyday Christian life.

We explore how central beliefs, like the incarnation of God in Jesus, can inspire a faith marked by both conviction and a spirit of generosity toward others.
