MINISTRY INNOVATION
We are at a hinge point in North American Christianity. We will either transform our thinking about what it means to be church and start new churches in new ways or we will be ignored by an increasingly larger number of our younger neighbors. Jesus commands us to make disciples of all kinds of people - many with different cultures, languages and perspectives. In gratitude for what Christ has done for us, we Disciples of Christ in Greater Kansas City are choosing to start new churches and make our existing congregations more engaging and sustainable to serve new generations of those who will benefit from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
