Mission

VCF Muskegon is a multi-generational church plant but at 32, and with a 29 year old wife, we are who we are. So while we are not specifically a postmodern mission point we are effectively reaching postmoderns. We have seen that most effectively happen through having people in our home. Every knows our home to be always open and a place where unplanned parties happen regularly. Among postmodern people we have most been effective with cultural creatives. (Probably the Thai food, good wine, and a safe environment to talk about ideas.) As for our mission statement it is "To be the love of God for the sake of the world." We have from the beginning of the church plant been very involved in inner-city work, and numerous Compassion-Kindness (CK) outreaches, Java the Hutt is a "rave" club ministry which uses both secular and Christian bands to reach out to the youth of our community. We have done coffee houses and other things but kinship groups and our open home seem to be most effective. We use communion every week and even in kinships, we put a high value on water baptism (immersion) but we fully embrace the whole church. We really stress not turning our backs on fallen Christians, including famous ones. I really don't have the answers but I am searching with the idea that collectively we might have a few of the answers...

Mission

I am two months away from graduating from seminary and I have been called to a church in Chicago. I want to be a student of the culture so that I can take what the secular world has called its own and reinterpret it on a higher level with the One that can move one from duplicity to authenticity. This means focusing on ministries that speak to specific groups of people. We can no longer employ spray paint programs that hope to blanket everyone at some time or another. Reaching postmodern people also means that we have to be postmodern prophets willing to meet the Jesus of others instead of simply making "our" Jesus the normative form of expression for the Christian faith. Finally, our worship must move from being uni-sensory to multi-sensory where we employ various and sundry mediums to speak to people. We now live in a post-literate world were linear and static thinking processes have been replaced by dynamic thought constructs. (If brevity is the soul of wit, then I'm not sure if I have soul or wit.)

Mission

Peoria Heights Church is an older middle/working class church located in a metro area of 130,000+. I've been here 2 1/2 yrs. after a 5 yr. absence from parish ministry working a marriage/family therapist. Cong. knows that, without significant change, they face a bleak future. We've seen some good signs in new-member growth curve, but people are leaving (by hearse) even faster. Cong. had completed "Revisioning" process during interim--identified outreach/growth as priorities. We've added a good to very good contemporary worship service in past year, but, it has yet to make much contact with outside world. This Sept. we will begin using Alpha--staffed almost entirely by members received over past 2-3 years. I'm betting the farm on Alpha. Pray for us. Phil Meagher

We are at an exciting point in our process as we are seeking to build a solid core group of believers and to develop our passion for God and one another in order to become effective tools in this task - it will be so cool to see what God does with our willingness to commit to this task.

I am a 20 year old youth pastor in a pretty traditional town that is just beginning to catch up with the rest of the world. I am strategizing now how to tackle the changing culture. I grew up in a very pomo area, and am trying to figure out how to bridge the gap these students are crossing. I have studied pomo quite extensively an I am exited to put my studies into application. So far the only "pomo" things I have really done are to emphasize community, authenticity, and engaged the students in the learning, planning, and let them do ministry, and it has been incredible...God Bless

From the pulpit, without apology, we should be challenging our churches to be looking for new ways to reach a lost and dying world. I'm passionate about using music to make a difference. it's not just for the lost, but I have more and more friends that talk about how they're starving for something fresh and energetic when it comes to music in the church. I WANT TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE CHURCHES WHO HAVE A DESIRE TO REACH PEOPLE! ISN'T THAT WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT!

Mission

From the very beginning Jacob's Well was known as a "postmodern church" and nobody really knew what that meant. "Postmodern" has become a buzzword among Christian communities in the last few years, and again… nobody really knows what it means. We believe it is more important for us to be prophetic than to be postmodern. What does that mean? It means we desire to interpret the culture of NW Ohio and then bring the Gospel in a socially relevant way. It is important for us to be in touch with popular thought while at the same time in touch with the presence of God.

We believe that it is the real and authentic presence of God that brings real and authentic change in people's lives. We believe that God's desire is for us, His church, to help His worshipers find their way back to community with him.

My mission was evangelism and my methods were Spirit-led-fly-by-the-seat of my pants. The second was a Gen-X church plant in north Denver, CO. The mission was once again evangelism and new converts and our method was Purpose Driven. Am currently involved in a heavily evangelistic, EPIC style youth ministry based in a "somewhat traditional" church that is highly Purpose Driven. Our ministry draws a large amount of unchurched kids that are drawn by our highly evangelistic (yet,non-judgemental) kids. We rely on team leaders relationships with the kids to be the biggest tool to draw the kids. We also are greatly worship focused.

Mission

Instead of searching through age groups to make a college age ministry or a singles and young adult ministry, we have started a seed to plant a new ministry here that is based to reach people based on attitude not age. People who are in transition in life, people who are quite sure they fit in with the rest of the "normal" chuch. Their needs have been ignored here, but now they will come to the forefront. It is all starting with a service called elevate, but not just a music change or message format change. Just changing those things makes it just another service in church. No this is meant to be out of the zone of comfort but into the needs of those mentioned above. More information will be available as we launch here soon but instead of flyers cd's will be sent out. Call me I welcome passionate people about ministry to explain ideas or to connect for prayer and resources.

I presently work in the structure of the Lutheran church (ELCA). I am trying to do relevant ministry as a church bureaucrat in the postmodern context... which is not easy, especially in this "age of Gnutella," where "central servers" such as denominational headquarters have become or can become dinos unless they adapt and become hubs or routers for networking congregations (who are the front-lines of ministry).

I work in the worship department and try to help our 11,000 congregations to take seriously the postmodern context and how that context can effect their approaches to both worship and outreach. I find that the "E.P.I.C" model (Sweet) can be of great help to our congregations as they seek to renew their worship ministries for the postmodern era.

Our church plant is actively engaged in dialogue with the people in our community in an attempt to know what barriers exist in their thinking toward believers in Jesus Christ. As we interact with people we look for ways to enhance their lives through acts of kindness and service. I'm firmly convinced that we must be good news in order to win a hearing for the good news. In our quest to reach people with the gospel we are trying to network with other believers so as to form a net of compassion, truth, and the presence of Christ.

Through Writing, speaking, equipping seminars, personal and internet contact our trench style ministry positions itself as a bridge between three worlds: modern, postmodern and god's kingdom. Goals are to help the established modern church structure in their understanding of current changes while nurturing the Christ-like character of the postmodern sub culture. Our old youth group kids are all grown up now and have left the building to live Christ. We are not out to recapture them for the western church but to help free them into their callings outside of the centralized structure, and bridge the gap of understanding within the old guard. jc

We hope to move form being a church-within-a-church, to a church plant in the next few months. God is blessing us, but we are new at this, so any advice would be great!

Once a week meetings (Wed nights) with creative visual ministries, post-modern worship band, relevant topical messages, small group interaction, snack bars and non threatening atmosphere make up this meeting. Goal is take unchurched and anti-church students and invite them on a "truth journey" with us each week. Currently we minister to over 1000 students monthly in an evangelistic (Free Lunch) meeting. This is the "next step" for those students to become "community" in a local church setting.

Mission

At The Freeway, we have an ultra-contemporary, simplistic style of doing church. In order to reach a postmodern culture of people our gathering strives to utilize the latest in audio/visual technology, rock/pop music styles, and postmodern arts to effectively communicate the truth of Jesus Christ in a casual, eclectic, non-churchy atmosphere.

We believe in the building of quality relationships, grounded in authenticity, trust, and purity. At The Freeway no one will be cornered, pressured or made to feel like you don’t belong; that’s not our style, nor will it ever be. Rather, people come as they are, listen to the music, and hear some words of hope and truth.

We focus our energy and resources on meeting the needs of and addressing the issues facing Generation Xers (20’s and 30’s) and their children.

We have a simple philosophy… effectively reach a new culture of people searching for truth in their lives with the truth, Jesus Christ. To do this, we passionately seek to become authentic followers of Christ ourselves, knowing that a world of skeptics yearns to believe that Christ is real if only they would see it in an approachable, authentic, living example. This simple philosophy is based on the two-fold quest Jesus talked about in Matthew 4:19 in the Bible… 1) The quest for Christ. 2) The quest for lost people. Jesus said, “Come follow me and I will make you fishers of people”. That’s why we do what we do.

Mission

We are a cell-based church, with a heavy emphasis on intimate worship and becoming an apostolic church. We tend to be seen as a hospital for people who are spiritually hurting, and haven't seen a lot of numerical growth because these people tend to leave after they've recieved some healing.

Mission

We were not able to do a postmodern ministry within our home church because of the old fear of a "church within a church" so with a clear call from God we began a separate church targeting postmoderns. We are a month old and trying to navigate this strange and exciting path. We have nothing...no facility, no funding, no established core.....only the knowledge that this is what we are supposed to do. Any advice or experiences shared would be most helpful. Thanks!
