each winter nancy beach and the willow creek association pull together a group of 30 "arts champions" chosen from all the over country to participate in conversations around the use of arts in the church and our call to ennoble, connect, equip, and refresh church artists. last week we met in orlando and brainstormed how to best accomplish this purpose in the context of a stressed economy when outward mission is still so very critical.
while most of our churches tend to swing the pendulum wide, the truth is that the gospel is both attractional and missional. jesus used compelling storytelling methods - while lifting up the great needs of all God's children across the world. i want to be part of a church that greatly understands the need for both - and invests itself in the passionate and relentless pursuit of making disciples through the combination.
willow always treats us to an inspiring field trip during this gathering- this year's being EPCOT. thanks nancy and team - for including all of us in the adventure. visit www.towardwonder.com for information on this year's arts conference - inspiration and innovation on a much larger scale.
