A fresh expression is a new form of church for those not connected to any church. They take shape outside of the walls of the church in places where our neighbors are already gathering. Fresh expressions in the North Georgia Conference are making new disciples and are passing on the traditions of our Wesleyan faith in new and creative ways. Fresh expressions are anchored to existing churches, connecting churches with people who would never enter the church building on a Sunday morning. They do not exist to get people to come to our church, but rather to form new faith communities in places where people are already gathering.
In the midst of a rapidly changing ministry landscape, Fresh Expressions invites you to join us for a day of envisioning the unique ways the Holy Spirit might be inviting you to step deeper into mission.
In this interactive day of training you will:
Catalyze a vision for a church that sends out the everyday people of God to be on mission in their networks and neighborhoods.
Brainstorm ways to connect with people your church may not be currently engaging.
Discover how fresh expressions of church can emerge alongside your traditional church.
Explore creative ways of being the church in the world today.
