“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect.”  Romans 12:2

The theme, Called to a Movement beyond Institution, will emphasize our hope of the Gospel and its power to challenge institutional conventions. The goal is to come together and live in this moment, immersed in our current cultural context of racial division, gender inequality, and economic disparity to be renewed, refreshed and reformed, so that we may be sent out to affect change in our own communities. Big Tent will provide a place where our Presbyterian polity and identity is the foothold by which we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in action and answer the call to discern the will of God together.

Through worship, Bible study, learning opportunities, and active engagement with one another and the community, attendees will encounter the Church participating in God’s mission for the transformation of creation and humanity.

We believe God is at work. We believe the Holy Spirit is calling the church into a new future. We believe now is the time to discover and embody innovative ways to lead the church more deeply into God’s life and love for the world. If you want to join us on the journey, don’t miss the Faithful Innovation Summit.

What’s the Faithful Innovation Summit?

We live in a time of disruptive change–and many of us are unsure where to start or how to lead through uncertainty. The Faithful Innovation Summit is designed to help you define and address the challenges you’re facing. Gather with fellow Christian leaders and consider what God is calling you to do. See what others have done as you listen to real-world stories of innovative experiments in a variety of ministry settings. Spend time in conversation with leaders as passionate as you as we work together to equip, encourage, and prepare one another for this journey.
