Church
Innovations is pleased to be a part of the Allelon Center for Missional
Leadership Summer Leadership Institute. The inaugural Institute is comprised
of two components: the Ministry in a Post Modern Context Conference
with Brian McLaren; and the Summer School that includes four extensive
hands-on courses that will initiate ongoing collaboration among emergent
and established missional leader participants.
Ministry
in a Post Modern Context Conference
Pastor, author and speaker Brian McLaren will lead participants through
four days of conversation, lecture, simulation, reflection, and creative
interaction as they explore: Premodernity, modernity and postmodernity;
postmodernity and the local church; the Biblical narrative; theological
turnings; and global trends.
When:
June 19-22
Where:
Eagle Nazarene Church
1001 W. State St.
Eagle, ID
(25 minutes from the Boise airport)
Cost: $250

Summer
School
The summer school will initiate new peer-based learning communities,
as participants are guided through intensive learning, collaboration,
and reflection by some of the preeminent thought leaders in the missional
church movement. Participants can choose from one of four courses that
will provide resources for training local, regional and national church
leaders to reshape existing systems and form new churches.
Courses
include:
Forming
Missional Leaders
Alan Roxburgh and Mark Priddy will provide participants with a clear,
well-tested process for identifying the skills and capacities needed
to innovate missional life in an existing leadership context. Because
pre-course work is involved, the registration deadline for this course
is April 30.
Forming
a Missional Order
This course, led by Tim Keel and Gary Waller, will provide a primer
on basic thinking (theology, history, and cultural reflection) about
the movement toward ordered communities, the communal considerations,
and commitments needed to develop missional environments and the habits
and practices necessary to birth missional communities.
Partnership
for Missional Church
Pat Keifert and Kris Stache will help local churches and the systems
that support them to develop their attitudes and beliefs, knowledge
base, skills, and habits to innovate mission-shaped churches. Church
Innovations’ Partnership for Missional Church is a journey to
discover partners in mission in order to discern and live into God’s
missional future.
Missional
Action Teams
In this intensive course, Fred Romanuk and Sara Jane R. Walker will
provide tested, hands-on tools and resources to create a Missional
Action Team (MATs) process for churches and systems to enable them
to attend to the adaptive challenges to missional life. MATs provide
a concrete process to empower communities, churches and systems in
addressing significant adaptive challenges.
When:
