Fresh Expressions Vision Days
Today and Tomorrow: January 17 & 18
A Vision Day is a one-day training event that provides an opportunity to discover what it means to be the Church in new and creative ways, hear from Fresh Expressions practitioners, learn how to renew existing congregations through fresh expressions of church, and discern what this could mean for your region, community, or neighborhood. There is active discussion as well as opportunity to build networks and relationships among those in your area.
According to Lifeway Research since 2014 over 70% of all youth and young adults ranging in the ages of 15-19 leave the church, or take what we would call a hiatus. This number is only going up. In light of the world we live in and the current state of our church, I believe we are in need of a new movement that truly starts from the bottom up.
We will look to share our story of Aftershock Youth Ministries. A program that truly launched in 2012 with only 4 youth, to now a program that averages 160 mid-week and over 600 in full connection. Again, we want to take what we have learned and share it with all, so that we can in hope see transformation and radical growth happening across our conference and denomination.
So I would like to invite you to join us, for a time of learning, sharing, and growing. There will be practical information and action plans that you don’t want to miss.
Through it all, may we set our eyes on the true prize that is Christ Jesus, with the hope of lives being transformed and in turn the making of new disciples for Jesus Christ will occur! Remember, we are not speaking to just empty chairs; we are speaking to lives and souls!
