DisciplesNEXT: The future of New Church?
Join us for a candid conversation between Rev. Dr. Jose and Program Coordinator Rev. Wesley King. We’ll discuss how the new DisciplesNEXT framework offers a methodology to train leaders as movement initiators that form faithful communities, and how it can help move the Church forward.
DisciplesNEXT — which draws upon our core identity as a “movement for wholeness in a fragmented world” — strives to counter the church’s historic tendency to colonize as a means of growth. To equip Disciples movement initiators DisciplesNEXT will foster three core competencies in our leaders: Contemplative Action, Prophetic Advocacy and Faith-Rooted Organizing.
