NEW ATHENS PROJECT
WHY WE EXIST
Our goal is to awaken a generation to bring Christian ideas and values back to the public square, just as Paul did in Acts 17 when he stood in the Areopagus in Athens, Greece.
HOW WE ENGAGE
We write thought-provoking articles and create conversation-driven resources that equip young people to connect biblical truth with real-world issues. We actively engage hot cultural and political topics with the full authority of the revealed Word of God that gives tangible direction on how our cities, states, and nations can thrive.
WHO WE ARE
We are a youth-led initiative united by the conviction that Christianity must not be diluted, privatized, or reshaped to mirror cultural trends. We seek to bring clear, historic, and unapologetic faith back to the forefront of American life - not as nostalgic reflection, but as necessary restoration. We believe lasting spiritual, political, and cultural order flows from biblical truth courageously applied. When Christianity challenges the chaos of the age rather than conforming to it, it provides the moral clarity and foundation required for a stable, flourishing society rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
