Church for the never churched

Graham Cray @ Spring Harvest

Spring Harvest, Minehead, week 1, day 4

Part 1: Listening not cloning

2.15-3.15pm

How can we reach the people our current churches will never reach, however alive they are? Especially the growing majority of people who have never been connected to any church? More of the same won't do. We can't just clone our previous experience. It begins withn listening to God and to the community as the starting point for planting fresh expressions of church.

Part 2: The long haul

3.45-4.45pm

Over the decades the churches have become distant from more and more parts of our society. There is no quick fix for turning this round. We are in for the long haul. How can we plant fresh expressions of church which make disciples in a consumer culture, and make a kingdom difference in their communities?
