“Let your light so shine before men

that they may see your good works”

Culture Light is an umbrella term for

a number of ministries that have materialized 

in and around Raleigh, North Carolina 

over the past 35+ years.


It is spearheaded by Dan and Nancy Nelson

who were led to Raleigh

as “missionaries” in 1989.

They started out in traditional 

church activities, 

but have evolved more and more 

to a focus on the city itself,

it’s culture, arts, and people. 

(We also find ourselves doing stuff outdoors,

no matter how hard we try to come in out of the cold.)
