10.08.24 | New Faith Expressions, Administration & Operations, Finance, Congregational Development, Training Tuesdays
Across the United States, amid a Christian landscape that looks and feels like a desert of decline, God is up to something. Inherited congregations, with long histories, deeply rooted in their traditions, are experimenting with cultivating “fresh expressions” of church. A fresh expression is a form of church for our changing culture, established primarily for the benefit of those who are not yet part of any church. These forms of church are:
•Inclusive
•Accessible
•Transfiguring
•Connectional
When these congregations commit to reaching new people, in new places, and in new ways, revitalization and communal transformation are taking place.
