In its Re-imagining process, CCK is asking congregations to be part of an initiative that intentionally seeks to answer these two questions, “What is God up to in our neighborhoods and communities?” and “How is God calling us to be part of God’s mission in these places?” “Surfing the Edge” is the name given to this initiative. We call these congregations “missional” churches.
Missional churches follow the model of the early church as described in Luke 10 where the followers of Jesus take the initiative to awaken the people beyond the walls of the church to the presence of God already among them. This is done by walking alongside them through acts of hospitality and compassion. It is done by working side by side with them to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their full Kingdom potential as children of the living God. It is to help us escape the prisons of our own making that keep us safely locked in behind the walls of our church buildings and keep those we are called to serve safely out of sight, out of earshot and out of reach.
Thirteen CCK congregations participated in the pilot phase of this stream of the Re-imagining process.
Now it is your turn! Surfing the Edge.2 will launch June 3-4, 2011. It is not to late for you congregation to be part of this journey. Please contact Greg Alexander for more information on how your congregation can be part of Surfing the Edge.2.
