A fresh expression is a new form of church for those not connected to any church. They take shape outside of the walls of the church in places where our neighbors are already gathering. Fresh expressions in the North Georgia Conference are making new disciples and are passing on the traditions of our Wesleyan faith in new and creative ways. Fresh expressions are anchored to existing churches, connecting churches with people who would never enter the church building on a Sunday morning. They do not exist to get people to come to our church, but rather to form new faith communities in places where people are already gathering.

Summer Book Club

Summer is a great time to step back, think deeply about your ministry and dream about new ways to join God’s mission. The Summer Book club gives you three chances to think through new opportunities, along with fellow church leaders and the book authors themselves.

So before you head to the beach, grab a book and register to join us for an in-depth discussion on the core practices for Fresh Expressions of Church.
