THE NORTH AMERICAN CHURCH IN 2050
The Equipping Group’s January 2023 Online Workshop
What will the North American Church look like in 2050 (which isn't even 30 years away?!)
What foundations can we keep from the past, and how must we contextualize for the future?
And how is Jesus still good news in an increasingly pluralistic, post-Christendom culture?
In The Equipping Group's first free Workshop of 2023, pastors & authors Daniel Yang (director, Wheaton Church Multiplication Institute) and Ben Connelly (founder, The Equipping Group) will share some of the trends and shifts in discipleship, mission, and church practice that are already happening. Knowing that post-Covid church realities aren't returning to pre-Covid realities, this sobering but hopeful conversation will help us navigate the choppy seas into which we're all headed.
This Winter Workshop is sponsored by Fuller Church Planting Initiative, and will be broadcast live from Fuller, where Daniel and Ben are meeting and learning with emerging missional leaders for the week. So invite fellow church leader friends (and those who will be leading by 2050!). Come with questions, and be prepared to learn together, about priorities and preparation as we head into the next season of church realities in our ever-changing culture
