Becoming Church with Luke Edwards

<p>Do you attend church? Is church something that you used to attend?</p> <p> </p> <p>Luke Edwards is Associate Director of Church Development for the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. Luke has written a book called “Becoming Church: A Trail Guide for Starting Fresh Expressions”. Luke’s work and writing address the reality that church is changing. The default model of a bunch of people in a big room facing the front which has become a stage is not the only way of gathering. <a href='https://freshexpressionsus.org/'>Fresh Expressions</a> helps people who are interested in gathering, but may not be interested in church as we have known it.</p> <p> </p> <p>We had a great time speaking with Luke and we are grateful for people who have gone up ahead on the trail.</p>
