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.

THIS RETREAT IS DESIGNED FOR YOU IF:

  • You want to create or participate in an intentional Christian community experiment
  • You are part of a community or small group that you hope to see become more intentional, missional or formational.
  • You are a leader who wants to learn more about organic and relational approaches to community & formation

SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED DURING THIS WEEKEND:

  • What Jesus modeled and taught about our life together.
  • Historical examples of Christ-inspired community and mission
  • Community, personal healing and growth
  • Cultivating common values, commitments and practices
  • Leadership, collective discernment and mutual submission
  • Cultural awareness and the development of your common mission & vision
  • Embracing the fluid, improvisational and networked nature of community in an urban society
  •  Hospitality, transparency, trust and generosity
  •  Love, forgiveness, humility and reconciliation

AT THE END OF THIS RETREAT WE HOPE PARTICIPANTS:

  • Have a greater understanding of the nuts and bolts of creating community together
  • Identify their next steps for pursuing missional community with others
  • Commit to a 2-3 month missional community project/experiment


There will be follow-up project consults for the next 3 weeks. Wednesday nights in May.
