Michael Binder explains how the church can benefit from innovation practices such as design thinking–not for its own sake, but to discover and follow where the Holy Spirit is leading.
Put this learning into practice. Join us at the Faithful Innovation Summit, July 24-26, 2019 in Minneapolis.

Are you live streaming any of this conference? I attended the Preaching conference and unfortunately am unable to attend this one as well. Just as an FYI, I have been doing a new church for 3 years in the UCC. After 3 years, my Association decided not to support this new thing saying it (Grace Landing) did not fit into the box. The Area Conference Minister informed me he was an ‘institutional guy’ and will support the institution. If the institutional church does not support new, alternative forms of worship and/or what church could be, do and act, then who will and where does one in my situation go?
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for writing in and sharing your experience (even if it’s frustrating). You raise good questions about where and how to garner support for innovation in the church. We’re not livestreaming the Faithful Innovation Summit, but invite you to follow the conversation on social media via the event hashtag, #FISummit2019
