In an age of high mobility and social fragmentation, we search for
ways to connect with one another around our deepest values and highest aspirations--to see our Maker's dreams become as real "on earth" as they are "in heaven." Simply put, we want to be "making a life in the way of Jesus"--but we don't want to (and we can't) do it alone. In this weekend intensive we will explore simple and organic ways we can create communities together--that are missional, experimental and generative.
Over the past 10 years ReIMAGINE has helped cultivate neighborhood-based faith communities throughout San Francisco and around the bay area.
