Microchurch NEXT Online Learning Community
Starting a New Microchurch Movement
How does a microchurch movement start up?
In recent days, post-Covid, there has been a sea change in the world of “church planting”. Five to ten years ago, virtually all planters and church planting organizations were focused almost exclusively on the legacy model of church planting, often known as “launch large.” Now, a surging number of young leaders have different dreams and aspirations.
Rob Wegner, Brian Johnson, and Jason Sheppherd are directors of two microchurch networks that are regularly coaching ordinary people to make disciples, see microchurches emerge, and form city-wide networks. Join us for a learning community where we will open the hood on how these two networks emerged and equip you with paradigms and tools you can contextualize within your own city, region, or context.
