ABOUT THE FUTURING CHURCH
The Futuring Church is an evolving movement that was born out of Rob's Doctorate of Ministry project. It came to recognize that church leadership teams frequently do not prioritize the leading of the Spirit when considering their preferred future. In response, the project set out to equip church leadership teams with a corporate spirit-led future thinking mindset in order to shift their futuring posture to one of spirit-empowered hopeful expectancy.
Wait, what? Huh?
What if church leaders, both laity and clergy, committed to being leaders who were led by Jesus? What if they ensured that an important part of their leadership role included learning practical skills for individual and group spiritual discernment? What if these skills were valued as highly as programming, financial management, organization, and people management?
The Futuring Church can be a spiritual movement that seeks to develop tools for faith-based teams to unleash the power of Futures Thinking Literacy, Ignation group spiritual discernment practices, Open and Relational theological mindset, and the future-oriented nature of the Gospel. We can be a movement that can release our collective imagination, with God and each other, to navigate TOGETHER into the future.
