Stories

There are no experts when it comes to starting and sustaining fresh expressions of church. No one has really been doing it long enough yet to claim to know it all. But we can learn from one another and so as you explore these stories, look for principles and values rather than simply models to take off the shelf and follow.

And of course, if you are involved in a fresh expression of church, with the deliberate intention of starting a new congregation for those normally well off the radar of conventional church, let us know! Submit your story using the link to the right. 

Don't forget the power of a good story - Jesus didn't.
