The Source Collaborative: (Re)imagining Congregational Ministry
“Wherever the river flows, every living thing that moves will thrive.” Ezekiel 47:9
In 2020 The Hub launched The Source Collaborative to journey with mid-Atlantic region United Methodist Churches to better understand their context, identify their own markers of thriving, and live into those markers by deepening existing ministries, letting go of stagnant ones, and trying new ones.
Along with 9 seminary student research associates, we've led 31 congregational teams to experiment with over 78 new ministry ideas! For several of the congregations, this process has allowed them to integrate previous visioning or strategic planning processes with a realistic analysis of their current situation to craft tangible next steps toward thriving.
We accompany faith leaders and provide engaging workshop experiences, a collaborative community, and tools to imagine new ways to do ministry that build authentic relationships with young people and create impactful change.
Contact us for a customized approach to (re)imagining ministry.
