This an interactive course presenting the principles of reproducible, simple churches. We have been engaging with the processes that release a living, reproductive church.
The goal of this course is for participants to discover more fully God’s story and the nature of His church in a way that will lead to a more fruitful Jesus-lifestyle and a more organically-viral ministry.
Interactive: The course environment is fully collaborative so that most of the learning (expansion of our imagination and paradigms) takes place through the sharing and interaction of the participants.
This course is ideal for those who are planting simple/house churches, networks of simple/house churches, or for those who are training church planters. The focus is on stepping more fully into the principles that lead to the natural reproduction of disciples, churches, and leaders.
Part one of this course involves three lessons with two-weeks to complete each lesson (six weeks total). A lesson will include a GoToMeeting online presentation followed by additional assignments and several interactive processes. Every aspect of the course can fit into the participant’s schedule including the GoToMeeting presentation which will be recorded for those who cannot attend live. This course has been provided through the generosity of Roger Thoman and Appleseed Ministry.
As I am involved in this course many questions and possibilities are being put before me. I will post both the questions and present some of the opportunites that arise from my involvement in this dialogue.
Questions from Lesson one:
What is the deconstruction process we go through when we agree to follow Jesus on the path to organic discipleship?
Are our neighbourhood gatherings adding value to our communities?
How can I become a living, thriving, reproducing follower-of-Jesus?
What might this look like and what are the challenges?
more to follow . . .
