vision days
‘Today I learnt that “Fresh Expressions of Church” is not just the latest ‘buzz word’. I see its impact’. John Grice at the Oswestry Vision Day
‘Our Rural Fresh Expressions Conference was so encouraging both because of the great interest from rural churchgoers but also because we heard of so many exciting and innovative things already going on. We should have more of these Vision Days’ Alan Smith, Bishop of St Albans
vision days
the evaluations for the three Vision Days which took place in October, in Alberta, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland were all very positive. People expressed greater appreciation for the "new look" powerpoint presentations. Many of the changes you have made, are in fact ones that we were thinking needed to be made.

mission shaped intro
‘‘ The entire leadership team from our church, The Living Room, attended Mission Shaped Intro. Although our church is already quite missional, MSI helped us advance the dialog regarding our expression of church. It also helped us face some old paradigms we weren’t even aware we had. Whether you’re part of an established traditional church or part of a new emerging church, Mission Shaped Intro will help you rethink and reach out in fresh ways.”
Michael Jones, Lead Pastor, The Living Room, Montreal, QC

of a resource for anyone involved in reaching beyond the church walls with the good news. With great content, creatively presented, it is an almost essential tool for anyone engaged in pioneering ministry or thinking about fresh ways of being church.
