Rethinking the Church Building with TWK Faith and Innovation
The church is not the building! And yet, many communities of faith find themselves navigating how to sustainably steward their sacred spaces. MissionSpark, a resource team of TWK's Faith and Innovation, has been engaged in research and listening over the last year regarding alternative use of church buildings.
They hosted a webinar during which they introduced a resource to help churches navigate the early stages of the process when discerning how they might view their building as an asset to their neighborhood and community. A recording of this webinar, as well as access to the team's 33-page toolkit, is available below. Also, listen to the TWK Table Talk Podcast on the subject!
Our Vision: Unifying to embody the love of Christ in Spirit-led actions one community at a time.
Our Mission: To discover, equip, connect and send lay and clergy leaders who shape congregations that offer Christ to a hurting world, one neighborhood at a time.
