Let’s kick of 2019 with our own resolution. This year we challenge each and every one of our congregations to start a Fresh Expression of Faith! What’s a Fresh Expression of Faith, you ask? A Fresh Expression of Faith is a gathering of non-believers to gather for a common cause to build relationships and explore faith together. They take us outside our church buildings and into the community. This might be a gathering of people in a gym, coffee shop, or a park. A ministry that meets people where they are already gathering in new, exciting ways for Christ.
To help you to start a fresh expression in your local community, there will be two workshop opportunities. One workshop will be held on March 30th in Williamsport. A second workshop will be conducted at the pre-conference workshops on May 29th and 30th. Visit the Equipping Vital Congregations website for more information.
Let’s do this together! And, let’s have some fun along the way. Challenge the other churches in your area and district to join. Use #SUSUMCChallenge on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to show everyone what you’ve been working on.
