“Deep Roots, Wild Branches: Cultivating a Blended Ecology of Church for a Changing World“
Deep Roots, Wild Branches will explore how inherited congregations and fresh expressions can grow side-by-side in a blended ecology of church. Rather than competing for resources or identity, rooted traditions and wild missional communities nourish one another.
These presentations will help local pastors recognize the unique gifts of established congregations—stability, depth, wisdom—while also embracing the spirit-led creativity of fresh expressions that emerge in everyday spaces. Participants will learn how to cultivate ecosystems where both forms of church share one mission, cross-pollinate, and bear fruit for their neighborhoods.
