Topic Overview

The Pattern of Change: Change in the church is nothing new. Dr. Michael Christensen will help us examine social paradigm shifts, historic turning points, cultural tipping points, and major theological transitions in the history of Christianity, times when bold ideas provided a new framework for understanding the wild movement of the Holy Spirit. 

Church As Network: Our current cultural shift began a while ago. While we call it “the digital culture,” the central issues facing the Church are not technological but theological and anthropological. Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Mahan will have us consider these issues and the impact of this culture on Christian community and leadership.

God in the World, the Church in this Culture: Culture is not the enemy. Un-churched people do not need conversion. Damian Geddry will help us discover the questions spiritual people are asking, what kind of language they are using, and how to meet them. We will learn how to connect digitally and brainstorm new ways to let the Christian Tradition work and thrive.
