This journey of traveling the country and meeting with Church and ministry leaders in a given city/region began in May of 2008. Since May, I’ve been to 9 cities and had unbelievable experiences at each.
These Church 2.0 Local Forums have been informal/casual, kind of unconferences where I come with no set agenda or presentation and simply listen and guide conversation. Each city has a different pulse and heart for something they’re passionate about in their region. We talked about innovation, technology and the Church (capital “C”). Here’s where I went this year:
- Los Angeles – Host Church: Hollywoood UMC
- Chicago – Host Church: Park Community Church
- Orange County – Host Church: NewSong Church
- Santa Cruz – Host Church: Santa Cruz Bible Church
- Upstate South Carolina – Host Church: SpringWell Church
- Atlanta – Host Church: Perimeter
- Boston – Host Church: Grace Chapel
- Tulsa – Host Church: The Church at BattleCreek
- Portland – Host Church: Portland Foursquare
* Soon I’ll share the line-up of cities for 2009.
