Church Planting To Reach Postmodern Generations: Launching a New Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Problem The Henderson Highway Seventh-day Adventist Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was failing to attract unchurched young adults (ages 18-35). Many of the young adults who had grown up in the church were lapsing into irregular worship attendance. Attempts were made to help the congregation become more relevant to postmodern generations. However, these attempts failed to create a church environment that truly engaged young adults. Method Under the direction of its senior pastor, the Henderson Highway Church decided to plant a new congregation to reach unchurched young adults. The church was designed to be relevant to the postmodern context. Launched at the end of 2006, the new congregation focused on being an authentic community and creating a culture of evangelism. The Lighthouse of Hope Church was conceived as a high expectation church in which all members are expected to participate in cell groups and be involved in ministry. Sabbath worship experiences were designed to be informal and contemporary. Results From a small core group of sixteen individuals, The Lighthouse grew in two years to become a church family of more than 100 who attend worship at least monthly. At the end of 2008, the average worship attendance was 63 people per Sabbath. Half of the adults who regularly attend are in the target age range of 18-35. Half of the 28 individuals who were added to the church by baptism or profession of faith in the first two years were young adults. As of the end of 2008, 82 percent of regularly attending young adults were involved in ministry, and 77 percent were actively participating in small groups. Half of the regulars were not attending an Adventist Church prior to connecting with The Lighthouse. A Natural Church Development survey conducted in March of 2009 indicated exceptional church health. Conclusions In its first two years, The Lighthouse Church has been relatively effective at engaging young adults. Many more such congregations must be planted in order to reach postmodern generations. To fulfill the Great Commission, the Seventh-day Adventist Church must become a church multiplication movement in which newly planted churches repeatedly give birth to new daughter congregations.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
