The Underground Network is in part a organic church network, but it is also in part a missions and leadership training resource.  Once a month, we have a Greenhouse Think Tank that offers insights and practical tools for navigating the issues of church planting, missions and evangelism, incarnational community, and authentic worship.

Tonight is our second Think Tank and we’ll be dreaming up what this revolutionary group may become.  If you’d like to participate in future Think Tanks, check out our calendar, or contact us for details.

————————–

But why have a gathering like this?

It is meant to be a supportive/ validating environment.

It is meant to be a learning environment.

It is meant to be an environment of accountability.

It is a spiritual/missional discipline.

Important Questions we Ask:

  • Did people walk away feeling empowered to the task and lifestyle of organic church planting?
  • Does each person walk away with new insights in ministry, missions, and theology?
  • Did we all have a chance to share what is happening since our last time together, and challenged to participate in God’s mission in tangible ways?
  • Do we as a group understand the spiritual importance of meeting together for personal development as a disciple?

Each monthly session will include: (1) some worship and appreciation of the Lord (2) sharing (3) learning (4) discussion (5) some consideration of “next steps” (6) some reflection time and (7) some prayer. 

Tonight we’ll be getting to know each other and discussing group expectations.

I hope that these Think Tanks will become a regular rhythm in our network’s life together.  I will usually post the evening’s agenda here as I’ve done this month. Click on the link below for more!
