The FPU Center for Community Transformation and the Center for Anabaptist Studies are proud to present another workshop in its New Skills for a New Era series of convenings for Valley congregations. This one will be of interest to all members of churches that are struggling to know how to retain their firm convictions without drawing lines that promote polarization and judgmental attitudes, or the tendency to pronounce who’s “in” and who is “out”? In an era of shrinking church attendance, what biblical principles, ministry and relational skills would a church need to grow in this ability?
This FREE online workshop called Centered on Jesus will be led by FPU Biblical Seminary’s Mark Baker, Ph.D. who will be presenting the concept of the “centered-set church,” its theological and practical foundations. FPU alum Pastor Grace Spencer, MA Theo. will also present, sharing her experience from three churches she has served in a pastoral capacity. Registrants will be able to enter a raffle to receive Dr. Baker’s new book, Centered-Set Church: Discipleship and Community Without Judgementalism (IVP), and the first 50 to register and attend will receive a $10 lunch voucher.
