Sending Capacity of New Faith Communities: The Edge, Jacksonville, NC

November 3, 2015

EDGE Blog: Sending Forth “Given the choice of demographics, I would prefer to launch a church in a transient culture,” … said no church planter ever! As it goes for the missional pioneer, there are enough perilous pitfalls, impediments, and landmines already lurking behind every pew without the unwelcomed addition of a mass exodus portal… Continue Reading→

Living the Missional Life: Neighborhood Walks and MIssional Communities

October 27, 2015

Living the Missional Life Series: Joseph Franklin shares how neighborhood walks and a party reshaped his understanding of what it means to make disciples.  Three months ago I was appointed to serve New Song UMC.  From early on, I knew that the vitality of the church and the re-launch of New Song would need to… Continue Reading→

A Community on Mission

October 22, 2015

The nature and mission of a missional community is to get messy for Jesus Christ. We are to be recklessly excellent in living out our cruciform life in love with God and loving our neighbors.

Sending Capacity of New Faith Communities: CityWell

October 6, 2015

Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I am sending you.” John 20:21 One of our great historic faith affirmations is that we “believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic church.” Where I’ve long believed the church to be grounded on a common foundation of the Apostle’s witness, until… Continue Reading→

Peanut Butter & Jelly and Missional Communities

October 1, 2015

Starting a new church can feel like starting a business: A lot of planning and strategy meetings. As we began Crossroads North of Fayetteville just two months ago, I felt a strong conviction that if we began this church as a business and not a compassionate community of Christ followers, Jesus might just come in… Continue Reading→

Welcome to the Neighborhood!

September 29, 2015

Why your church should welcome a New Faith Community to the neighborhood! When I was a young church planter, excited to be moving into a fast growing area to begin a new work. It never dawned on me that this new endeavor would some how be threatening to existing United Methodist churches. I had assumed… Continue Reading→
