SUMMARY:Crucial Hacks to Decolonize Your Church
DESCRIPTION:Season 3\, Episode 4\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the term “decolonization” has entered popular vocabulary\, drawing attention to the role of religious organizations in gentrification and the history of colonial oppression. This subject is complex and frequently fraught with contradicting ideas about defining religious ideals\, colonialism\, and its victims. How can congregations uphold their standards while actively combating social injustice? In this New Church Hacks episode\, we unpacked these ideas and: \n\n\n\n\nFocused on anti-racism as an approach to church development and community engagement\n\n\n\nCreated space for conversations and practical ways in which to shape and reshape congregational DNA to reflect anti-racist discipleship\n\n\n\nRaised awareness of the ways in which your congregation is colonialistic \n\n\n\n\nHost Pastor Terrell McTyer was joined by featured guests Brandon Wrencher (Minister and Organizer of the Good Neighbor Movement)\, Naomi Washington-Leapheart (Director for Faith-Based and Interfaith Affairs for the City of Philadelphia and Faith Work Director for the National LGBTQ Task Force)\, and Chris Morton (Regional Minister of Disciples of Christ in Nebraska and Director of Cotner College Educational Ministries). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Church Hacks provides practical (and sometimes peculiar) prompts for churches from start to restart. This free webinar series is jam-packed with clever solutions to tricky problems and empowers courageous leaders with the tools\, tips and how-tos to start\, sustain and strengthen congregations. For regular updates\, be sure to check this page and follow along on social media with #NewChurchHacks! \n\n\n\nA link to a recording of the webinar will be emailed to all registrants after the episode airs\, regardless of attendance. \n\n\n\nYou can either view the webinar on Zoom by registering below or by watching Terrell\, Brandon\, Naomi\, and Chris live on New Church Ministry’s Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Central Rocky Mountain Fall Feast workshops
DESCRIPTION:The Fall Feast will be a hybrid model with in-person and online offerings. \n\n\n\nAs part of these festivities\, a set of workshops will be offered on Saturday\, September 4th. \n\n\n\nWorkshops will align with the theme of the Fall Feast\, “God’s New Thing\,” highlighting their experiences and the way God is working in and through us to create God’s new thing – even during what has been this time of sickness and separation. How do we do church and how will church change? How has your area of ministry (Christian education\, outreach\, mission\, children and family ministries\, intergenerational ministries\, senior ministries\, pastoral care\, congregational governance and the many other ways the church is church) changed\, how is it changing\, and how can we do that ministry more faithfully and effectively? \n\n\n\nPastor Terrell L McTyer\, Minister of New Church Strategies for New Church Ministry\, will be presenting two workshops. \n\n\n\nMaking One Million New Disciples: Exploring Strategies for Multiplication\n\n\n\nWe celebrate the formation of 1000 New Church\, 1000 Different Ways inspired by the 2020 Vision. Now what? New Church Ministry challenges us to make one million new disciples in a decade. What will it take to accomplish this mission? How can you and your congregation participate? The Great Commission is a mandate\, not a suggestion. It’s time to get going! Learn how to motivate every member of your collective to be more externally focused and welcome new believers. \n\n\n\nBecome an Externally Focused Church\n\n\n\nIf your church vanished\, would your community weep? Would anyone notice? Would anyone care? Learn to make serving the community a priority–with dramatic and unexpected results. Your church can be a firm pillar in your community because of the unwavering truth and love of its members. From the minister to the mechanic and the teen to the tenured\, your church will expand God’s family when it extends love to the community. Being an externally focused church is not about trying to be the best church in the community\, but being the best church for the community. \n\n\n\nBe sure to attend the Clergy Convocation on September 3\, where Rev. Rosario Ibarra\, a Building and Capital Services Advisor with our partner Disciples Church Extension Fund\, will be speaking!

SUMMARY:Disciples Virtual Gathering workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Disciples Virtual Gathering is an opportunity for Disciples to connect\, learn\, worship\, and imagine new ways of gathering as church. \n\n\n\nOur day together will focus on the covenant we share as Disciples and the promise of Romans 8:38-39 that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

SUMMARY:Water the Plants Prayer Summit
DESCRIPTION:Since last summer\, Disciples from across the life of the church have been praying for the new church movement. \n\n\n\nNew Church Ministry’s (NCM) church-wide Water the Plants (WtP) initiative has faithfully gathered together prayer intercessors every Tuesday morning and Thursday evening on the phone to prioritize the spiritual discipline of prayer and ask God to care for new congregations\, as well as congregational\, regional\, and general ministers of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. We are grateful for this dedicated team that supports new worship expressions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecome a prayer intercessor with Water the Plants \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNCM is excited to host our second prayer-focused virtual event\, the Water the Plants Prayer Summit\, on Saturday\, June 5th from 1 pm to 3 pm EST.  \n\n\n\nAttendees will pray for restoration\, strength\, transformation\, creativity\, rejuvenation\, and connections.

SUMMARY:Pentecost Offering
DESCRIPTION:Be the New Church\n\n\n\nFor the past thirteen months\, many Disciples have been struggling with social isolation. They’ve stayed away from their various places of worship to protect the health and safety of themselves and others. It has been difficult. \n\n\n\nHow have new church leaders responded? By launching communities of faith in creative and innovative ways. \n\n\n\nIt’s looked like spreading the word about the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada through Door Dash food deliveries\, meeting with folks every week on Zoom to discuss anxiety\, and making sure that the spiritual needs of those transitioning out of correctional facilities are met. \n\n\n\nFrom hospital and prison chaplains to tri-vocational pastors\, courageous new church leaders have answered the call to be the new church. \n\n\n\nTo support them and their efforts to continue the new church movement\, please contribute to the 2021 Pentecost Offering\, collected in most congregations on Sundays\, May 16 and May 23. Each year\, half of the gifts made go to your own Region to support local new church development. The other half goes to New Church Ministry\, which trains\, equips\, assists\, and multiplies new churches and their leaders. Through programs such as Leadership Academy\, New Church Hacks\, and Water the Plants\, your gifts make a difference across the life of the Church. By participating in this Special Day Offering\, you ensure the viability\, vitality and sustainability of unique new church plants in your area and in states\, provinces\, and territories far away. \n\n\n\nPlease consider giving generously. Let’s all be the new church\, together. \n\n\n\nTo access additional Pentecost Offering resources\, including printable PDFs\, videos\, and graphics\, visit the Disciples Mission Fund website.
