- How did I get into "emerging ministry"?
- I'm not sure. I was telling a fellow youth minister about my beliefs and my hopes for the church - and he said, "it sounds like you're an emergent". To which I replied, "what is an emergent?" So, I'm trying to find out (A) what an emergent is, and (B) if I am one.
- Say a little bit about the community you share life with...
- Windsor Heights Lutheran Church is a community of 1100 baptized members.

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?
