DESCRIPTION:
We want to mobilize the people of God to participate in the everyday mission of God. This means creating and sustaining missional expressions of the church built around the spaces/places we live, work, study, and play. Whether pioneering new networks or re-missioning established congregations, we want to see the church be a sign, instrument and foretaste of the coming kingdom by engaging communities, neighborhoods, apartments, campuses, workspaces, and third places.
Join us for two days as we explore what it looks like to embody this! Whether you are new to the conversation and curious to discover more or a practitioner wanting to dive deep, there is a place for you!
