The Rise of Post Congregational Communities
Thursday 8:45 AM & 2:30 PM
Dr. Reggie McNeal

Missional community is a different expression of church than its congregational cousin. It differs in its rhythms, celebrations, activities, and scorecard. It is not for everyone, nor is it the replacement of centuries of church practice. But, it is a growing phenomenon and this seminar is dedicated to telling part of its story.
