Something is happening...
"Modern pollsters tell us that a large number of those who are not Christians are indeed interested in Christ but not in attending church... We have seen such churches meeting in restaurants, offices, homes, university campuses, high school facilities, and beaches. We've had churches meeting in bars, coffeehouses, parks and locker rooms... This is a whole new way of seeing Christ's church, and it is happening today all across the Western world. I believe it is a contagious movement that will connect with the many people who are disengaged with the old conventional church but seeking Christ." (From Organic Church by Neil Cole)
"Simple church provides an environment of faith in which I am being opened, nurtured, challenged, supported... It is a place where I belong, where people are concerned for each other, and where I can be who I am..." (a young 20-something woman)
"A growing number of people are leaving the institutional church for a new reason. They are not leaving because they have lost faith. They are leaving the church to preserve their faith." (From Present Future by Reggie McNeal)
"The future leaders of the church are now being given a vision of radical New Testament Christianity being restored… It is time to heed the call and allow the Lord to lead his people to the new wineskins that will be able to hold what is about to break out upon the earth." (Rick Joyner)
The SimpleChurch Conference weekend will provide the opportunity to grasp and get involved with this worldwide movement!
