Church Innovations Survey

Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : October 23, 2008

I think it would be very interesting if the folks who read Jesus Manifesto would share their voice on this survey that will be used to identify the most important innovations in local churches for Outreach Magazine. Usually, Outreach lists the “25 Most Innovative Churches” and it includes the usual suspects (Willow, Saddleback, Mars Hill and the other Mars Hill). If you’re like me, you’re kinda irritated by this sort of thing…but I encourage you to weigh in respectfully and thoughtfully. And, after you do that, you are welcome to come back here and share what you wrote and why.

Mark Van Steenwyk is the general editor of Jesus Manifesto. He is a Mennonite pastor (Missio Dei in Minneapolis), writer, speaker, and grassroots educator. He lives in South Minneapolis with his wife (Amy), son (Jonas) and some of their friends.

    i went to the site and tried to think of something. i got nothin. is the body of Christ supposed to be about "innovation"? is "innovation" the end goal? what about faithfulness? breaking bread, preaching and reading the Word, singing praises, working for the poor, visiting the sick and imprisoned, baptizing, etc. i'm less interested in how churches can be innovative and how they can remain faithful to God's call on our lives to be his ambassadors, his hands and feet, to a hurting world...
