Next Gen Church is a multi-cultural fellowship pastored by Mia Chang, Lola Akiwowo, and Jim Butler.  They are the model of a congregation that allows the gospel to break down the walls from where we have come and fuse the people of God into the new community for which we are headed.  They are actively engaged in ministry to their community and support everything they do through the power of prayer and the activity of the Spirit.  You can find out more information about Next Gen Church at www.nextgenministry.net or on the Ecclesia website here.

Engage Community is a 5-year old congregation reaching people beyond the reach of the church outside Harrisburg, PA.  Jon Hand and his wife Aimee planted engage for those who are not into church or are unfamiliar.  They want people to feel safe to be themselves, knowing that God loves us not as we should be but as we are.  They are committed to helping people explore the message of Jesus without fear of being judged or rejected.  Engage believes that as we come to know Jesus we are inspired by the life of God in us.  God lives, breathes, and pulsates through our lives so that we become conduits of God’s love in the places we live, work, and play.  To connect with Engage you can go to www.engagecommunitychurch.com or find them on the Ecclesia website here.

Next month, the Ecclesia Network is hosting our Fall Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regional Gathering on Tuesday September 24 near Harrisburg, PA. The day will focus on “Shaping the Church for God’s Mission in a Post-Christian Culture” and feature Dr. David Fitch – author, theologian, professor at Northern Seminary and one of the pastors of Life on the Vine (an Ecclesia church in the Chicago area). This event is hosted in conjunction with our friends at the Brethren in Christ (BIC) Susquehanna Conference .

The purpose is to invite church planters, pastors and church leaders (paid and non-paid) to a day of discussion and theological interaction around God’s mission and the Church in North America.

Cost is $10 (lunch included). Payment is due on the day of the event. Consider bringing other pastors, friends, elders and leaders. Register by September 17 here:

We hope to see you there in September.
