In the next month we will launch our Miracle Grow Community. This is our biggest step yet in developing Genesis' dual emphases - 1) Genesis the congregation, and 2) Genesis the mission-equipping agency. These two emphases can be described thusly:
- Genesis, as a local church, exists in South Minneapolis. We currently have two Gospel Communities. In the coming months, we will add large group worship. We have a website (under construction), Facebook page, Twitter handle, and Instagram account (under construction).
- The Miracle Grow Community exists as a part of Genesis’ mission to identify, equip, and support missional leaders regardless of their geographic location, denominational affiliation, or congregational participation.
- Members of the Miracle Grow Community are welcome to participate in any aspect of the congregational component of Genesis, but it is not required.
- A space to directly disciple current or future missional leaders who will, in their unique setting and calling, apply the Gospel to a group of people
- A space to give and receive encouragement and accountability
- A space you are invited into by the leader—this is not something you bring a friend to
- A space to help people answer two questions each time we meet: 1) Where is Jesus at work around me? and 2) How am I joining Him in that work?
- A space for a season only, not forever (in our case, 1 year)
