Episode Synopsis

What could it mean for our congregations, for our communities, if we flipped the script on how we "do church"? In this week's episode Rev. Rob Parsons, pastor of Saluda UMC and a new church start called WithALL, shares how these two congregations are doing just that. He describes their ministry style as "church in reverse," and for them, their ministry does not start in the sanctuary, or a food pantry, or a Facebook page – it starts in courtrooms. Learn more about WithALL at www.bewithall.org. Are you interested in thinking through how your church can follow the breadcrumbs of the Holy Spirit into new and fresh areas of ministry?
