Our congregation is trying to discern what living out the Great Commission looks like in a 65-year old mainline protestant congregation.
- What are the most pressing questions (both theological and practical) you and your community have?
- How do we create a community that meets the spiritual needs of a small group of people without becoming a "separate" or "competing" entity within a larger, more established congregation?
