Purpose

With the decline of Church-attenders and the shake-up of Sunday services after Covid, the question we’re all asking is what does the future of the Church look like? Do we need better programming? Better preachers? More dynamic worship? We think not. We need to explore the grassroots work of movement. Too many of our institutional approaches stymie this work. How can we organize using practices that decentralize the People of God for ordinary mission, social justice, and healing in our neighborhoods? We may need to rethink how we gather to be a Church Without Walls. Join us to learn from local movements on-the-ground that are galvanizing and gathering people for the sake of God’s in-breaking Kingdom.

 

Practitioners

In our seventh annual time together, we will plunge into the hands-on-work of being a Church Without Walls in very concrete and practical ways. We’ve gathered some of the best practitioners, living this work in their local place, to awaken us to the possibilities of being a grassroots movement.
