It is a space where congregations can join with others for support, to learn missional practices, and enter a process of collective discernment. The three-year, guided program is designed to help congregations explore questions such as:
- How do congregations adapt and flourish in trying times?
- How do we unlock our capacity to build beloved community?
- How do we discern God’s promised and intended future?
Using the tools and skills of human centered design, congregations engage in a multi-stage design thinking process of listening, reflecting, and discerning of each one’s distinctive story.
The goal is to develop congregations that are truer to the vision of Jesus, and along the way, to identify opportunities for new expressions of church.
COS is currently in Year Two of the three-year program.
The committee chairs for this year are Cliff Waldeck and Frances Whitnall. If you would like to participate or learn more about the program, please contact the office.
