Wesley Innovation Resources

Lessons learned along the way:

Rev. Drs. Beth Ludlum and Emily A. Peck of Wesley Theological Seminary describe the vision, methodology, and theology behind the Wesley Innovation Hub, a project to introduce congregations to human-centered design.

2016 Young Adult Initiative Cohort Congregations share what they've learned in their own words. Congregations include : All Souls Episcopal Church, Emory Fellowship UMC, Georgetown Presbyterian Church, and Reid Temple AME.

Design Thinking Resources

Below are some of the books, podcasts, and reports which the Innovation Hub leaders and churches are utilizing as they build teams, research their communities, and innovate. As the churches try out their programs and new ministries, the Innovation Hub will report back with resulting resources.
