COVID, Movements and the Future of the Church Webinar
[Featuring] Chris Galanos, Damian gerke, Roy Moran
When will we get back to normal? How will this “pause” in the collective church strategy affect the long-term health of local churches?
BAD News: “back to normal” is never going to happen.
But a “new” normal is possible.
Chris, Damian and Roy are pioneering new tactics that are COVID resistant and more effective than the “old normal.”
Join them for robust discussion about 3 different tactics that move communities toward a “new normal” that comes from the Great Commission.
Roy Moran
Regional Director North America
New Generations
In 1992, Roy, his wife Candy, and a group of four others started Shoal Creek Community Church, where Roy currently serves as the directional leader and spiritual literacy advocate. Over the last 19 years, Shoal Creek has grown to over a 1000 people through reaching folks who are not used to going to church. Roy has pioneered the concept of the “Hybrid Church,” which finds the synergy between the traditional “attractional” strategy and the principles found in Disciple Making Movements. The Hybrid strategy highlights a “Come/Go” aspect that allows the gospel to move freely away from the physical space sometimes referred to as a church. Roy serves on the Board of Directors for the Institute of International Medicine and Beyond.
