Leadership in the Liminal: Fresh Expression's Online Gathering

“A Fresh Expression is a form of church for our changing culture established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church”
FX Denominational Partners, 2006

Wednesday, March 29th and Thursday, March 30

​In a rapidly changing world, and in a church trying desperately to discover what the ‘new normal’ might be, the liminal experience is very real. Do our inherited models of leadership work in such a context? Is a new approach required?

Fresh Expressions developed by first connecting with those projects already developed and then encouraging others to take first steps. These new forms of church ranged from family focused Messy Churches to New Monastic Communities and to Social Justice Projects in UK. For a snapshot visit their YouTube page to see them in action.

Join congregational leaders, church planters and pioneers from across the missional landscape to hear stories about what God is up to, explore meaningful ways of being relevant in today's culture and hear from some inspiring speakers and authors. 

NOTE: Gathering times are 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. GMT  =  6 a.m. - 11 a.m. ET

RETHINKING CHURCHThinking afresh about church is a mission priority. To re-imagine church requires a clear picture of what church is. What can change and what has to stay the same?
