Redefining Church

Disciples Church is about more than just starting another church. It's not about simply making more of the types of churches we already have. In a very real sense, DC is about redefining "church". By that, I mean changing the perception many pre-disciples have of what church is all about. Polls show that many pre-disciples have a very negative view of the church institution. Rather than just reading what books say about this, I encourage you to conduct your own "poll". Talk to the pre-disciples you do life with every day. Ask then what they think of when they think of church. If they share negative experiences, simply say "I'm so sorry that happened to you. What do you think church should be about?" Their answers will probably be eye opening and insightful. Shouldn't we care what pre-disciples think about us? Shouldn't we ask about what's important to them?
