DisciplesNEXT: The future of New Church?

When the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada reached the two-decade goal of “starting 1,000 churches in 1,000 different ways,” we might have relished celebrating our achievements. But 2020 was also marked by a racial reckoning, a climate crisis, and a global pandemic. Meanwhile, the work of the 2020 Vision was far from complete. So, New Church Ministry began shaping a framework for the future, informed by the crises of the day, yet based on Disciples fundamentals: our identity, vision, and mission. Join us for our next IMPACT episode for a candid conversation between Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez, Minister of New Church Strategies, and Rev. Wesley King, Program Coordinator, about DisciplesNEXT. In the webinar, they will discuss how this new framework offers a methodology to train leaders as movement initiators that form faithful communities, and how it can help set a course for the Church’s future. Sign up.
