Notes from East Center District Exploration Conversation at St Marks UMC

New faith communities may be off site
and would include worship, faith formation and mission
in which the healthy DNA of the 'parent' is passed on.

The best 'evangelists'
in engaging people and initiating new communities
are those new to the faith.

To start new faith communities
we should empower and equip the indigenous
to go into the 'occupied' territory.

In our communities, who do we weep for?
That is our mission field.
Begin praying for people to come to Christ.

We have a great opportunity but the "courage to step out in faith" will be needed.
