Institute for Mission, Church, and Culture
Are you working to cultivate a congregation or faith community where every member lives out their faith in ordinary spaces? We help communities discover a vision of faith where the gospel shapes all of life, the ordinary is recognized as sacred, and everyday work is counted as worship, an offering to God.
The Institute of Mission, Church, and Culture offers practical learning experiences, concrete theological resources for local ministry, and approachable guidance to shape meaningful discipleship practices.
WHAT WE OFFER
WORK & WORSHIP
EXPERIENTIAL SEMINAR
How can churches disciple Christians to be on mission in their city in ways that encompass their daily work and organic life in the community?
At this seminar, you will be introduced to the process of developing a culture of discipleship where each person (congregant) is woven into the fabric of God’s story. Empowered to be the primary agents of the church’s mission: to be priests in their daily work, life, and relationships.
