Inspire Community is a new organisation called out of the familiar with a mission and a passion to empower and equip people in their Godly calling and purposes. In doing this we also believe that we will be a catalyst for community transformation.
As we have been journeying with the vision for Inspire Community, and writing down what we believe we have heard God speak to us, we have discovered that we are not alone, and that God has already been saying the same thing to other people with a like minded passion.
We recently came across the Underground Network who have a passion to see every-day believers respond to their calling to be church (ekklesia) which they work out through microchurches; places that have a missional calling to serve and support the communities where they are based or planted. Everything that they do is aimed at unlocking the potential to create empowering missional culture, to send and serve modern day missionaries in our communities.
They have produced a documentary, see below, which helps tell their story.
So, we were truly amazed, and greatly encouraged to see that the vision of the Underground, expressed in this documentary, also resonates very closely with what we believe God has called us to build here in this area. We have loved watching it, and want to share it with you to help you visualise what it can mean to be modern day ekklesia; an apostolic kingdom community serving, supporting, and making disciples just like Jesus commanded us to do all those years ago.
The Underground Network – mission through the microchurch
THE UNDERGROUND – OUR STORY
For over a decade, we have uncovered how to interface missional theory with organizational practice. This unique paradigm generates an ecosystem where both high missional creativity and relationship thrive. The environment is uncontrolled yet balanced, wildly creative but connected and serves every missional person in our city.
