It’s conference time here in Austin. About 2,000 people from all over descended on Hill Country Bible Church to learn about “Missional Communities.”
The most exciting thing about Verge to me is that it’s happening at all. A weird combination of house Church gurus, megachurch leaders and everything in between, trying to sort out what an Acts style church looks like in the 21st Century. Francis Chan jokingly referred to his way of following Christ as “regurgitation,” reading the book of Acts, and spitting it back out in life.
It’s also really exciting that it’s happening in Austin. Austin, known for music, decadence, and pagan revelry is becoming a model for a variety of churches learning to work together on planting and justice.
It’ll be a good weekend.
