  • The Core Work
    • Connect with GodConnect with God – Leaders and Christian communities need a Christ-centered identity, embodied in a life of discipleship and nourished through spiritual formation.
    • Tell the StoryTell the Story – All baptized Christians need to be equipped to tell the story of Jesus and invite others into Jesus’ way of life and love in words secular neighbors can recognize.
    • Ministry Areas (2)Cultivate Community – Christian communities need to be centers of deep listening, where God’s presence is named and life-giving relationships are formed across all dimensions of diversity, both within and beyond the church.
    • Ministry Areas (3)Practice Justice – Through mutual relationships with the neighbors among whom they’re hosted, Christian communities need to join in acts of compassion, justice, and reconciliation as a witness to the ministry of Jesus—particularly in places of suffering and despair.
    • Ministry Areas (4)Shift Ministry Models – Christian communities need to harness skills of agile leadership, stewardship, social entrepreneurism, and management to be nimble enough to respond to a changing cultural landscape.
