I was so impressed at how the whole structure\, from arrival to departure\, was a joy leaping inside of me that said\, “they care about what you have envisioned.” The workshops were well thought out and planned. I really enjoyed the hands-on exercise of setting up my social media page before I left. I am such a taskmaster\, and checking that one off the list felt good. … The NBA staff were so incredible and professional in how they met with all the attendees. I felt that my dream was shared in a safe place\, and it gave me time to reflect on what it could become.” — Syvoskia Pope\, 2017 \n\n\n\n“The journey into social entrepreneurship begins with saying ‘yes’ to things one is afraid to do. The NBA SENT Seminar has been an important part of me saying ‘yes’ and connecting myself to a community of people who are also interested in making a difference.” — Rebecca Klemme Eliceiri\, 2019 SENT Participant URL:https://newchurchministry.org/event/2020-sent-seminar/ CATEGORIES:General Ministries,Travel END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20200909T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20200909T170000 DTSTAMP:20250624T205707Z CREATED:20200716T175401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250624T205707Z UID:1104-1599663600-1599670800@newchurchministry.org SUMMARY:Explore the Enneagram DESCRIPTION:The Enneagram is a personality type theory that argues nine different personality types exist in the world.

This reality has perpetuated the dangerous belief that we can live above place –  disembodied and disconnected from the neighborhoods we inhabit. This has all contributed to a disorganized and disempowered Church.  \n\n\n\nAs Dr. Willie Jennings says\, “race is a matter of geography.” We need to keep exploring how white supremacy distorts our imagination for how we can reorganize the church together in our neighborhoods and tackle it head-on.  \n\n\n\nThis year\, because of the pandemic\, attendees will be gathering online while seeking to be faithfully present and active in their our spaces. The Parish Collective is thrilled to offer this online version of their flagship Inhabit Conference – Inhabit 2020 at Home. They hope you’ll be with them as they lean on the wisdom of guiding voices and celebrate the stories of courageous people around the world who are joining the Spirit at work in their neighborhoods and learning how to be the Church in their everyday lives. \n\n\n\nTicket purchasers will have access to all live content for 4 weeks after the conference. \n\n\n\nNew Church Hacks is one of this event’s sponsors.

How can the church show that it is listening? How do we exercise Biblical justice as Disciples of Christ? There are some practices that leaders\, congregations\, and organizations can adopt to eradicate systemic racism. The Bible is clear that all people are made in God’s image. Racism and oppression are against the heart of God\, who does not tolerate injustice. \n\n\n\nYou can courageously and radically transform your church and community into an active force for justice and solace when the world seems to tell certain people that they do not matter. Racism is a sin that needs to be called out. Will you use your voice? This episode of New Church Hacks will empower you to: \n\n\n\n\nDismantle racism from the pulpit and beyond\n\n\n\nEngage anti-racism training at all levels of formation in your church\n\n\n\nSupport organizations and community activists that are at the frontlines\n\n\n\nDiscuss different ways in which others are fighting against racism\n\n\n\nCelebrate humanity’s rich cultures and diverse ethnic backgrounds and traditions.\n\n\n\n\nThe featured guests included April Johnson (Minister of Reconciliation for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada)\, Mark Anderson (CEO and President of the National Benevolent Association) and Yvonne Gilmore (Associate Dean of the Disciples Divinity House at the University of Chicago).

The Table around which we gather has grown in language\, diversity\, and life experience. Our church has been transformed by the movement of the Holy Spirit and an audacious vision to start new churches. \n\n\n\nCelebrating 1\,000 new churches… and counting!\n\n\n\nCourageous leaders have answered the call to grow the Disciples family through the new church movement. They have given their hearts to reaching the underserved\, welcoming new neighbors\, and creating communities of love. And we\, as a church\, have committed to supporting those who have stepped out in faith to start new churches. \n\n\n\nWe celebrate these brave leaders and recommit to continuing to support their call. Because\, together\, we started 1\,000 new churches… and counting! \n\n\n\nParticipate in the 2020 Pentecost Offering. Express your gratitude for what God has done and contribute to the continued work of starting more churches. Each year\, half of what you give stays in your Region to support and sustain new churches near you.

And we did it! We started 1\,000 new churches… and counting! \n\n\n\nToday\, we have welcomed 1\,034+ new faith communities into the Church. The Table around which we gather has grown in language\, diversity\, and life experience. Our church has been transformed by the movement of the Holy Spirit and an audacious vision to start new churches. \n\n\n\nCelebrating 1\,000 new churches… and counting!\n\n\n\nCourageous leaders have answered the call to grow the Disciples family through the new church movement. They have given their hearts to reaching the underserved\, welcoming new neighbors\, and creating communities of love. And we\, as a church\, have committed to supporting those who have stepped out in faith to start new churches. \n\n\n\nWe celebrate these brave leaders and recommit to continuing to support their call. Because\, together\, we started 1\,000 new churches… and counting! \n\n\n\nParticipate in the 2020 Pentecost Offering. Express your gratitude for what God has done and contribute to the continued work of starting more churches. Each year\, half of what you give stays in your Region to support and sustain new churches near you. The second half helps train\, equip\, assist\, and nurture leaders across North America through New Church Ministry programs. Your gift to the Pentecost Offering will help the movement continue. \n\n\n\nFor more Pentecost Offering resources\, including a brief video\, visit: disciplesmissionfund.org/special-offerings/pentecost.
