Church Narrative Project

September 29, 2023 @ 5:00 pm September 30, 2023 @ 3:00 pm

Have you ever experienced a process that shifted your world? What would it look like for members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to hear storytellers and engage our narratives? And what kind of church might we have if we imagined a narrative of a shared future? 

It’s about imagining a future by being honest about the stories that make us who we are as a church, and deciding together which stories to carry forward and which may not serve our shared future. Storytellers in each region will tell true 7-minute stories of a time when the scales fell from their eyes — or they told someone else the truth. An exchange that changed their sense of yourself from then on. A connection with someone unexpected that changed your path.

We are not inviting you to another boring church meeting. The Church Narrative Project is a two-day experience — a Friday night Story Hour followed by a Transformative Community Conference With Dr. David Anderson Hooker.

Come hear true stories, share dinner with Disciples from across the Tri-Regional Partnership Initiative (Greater Kansas City, Kansas, and Nebraska), and help shape the future in which God is calling the region and the whole church through the Transformative Community Conferencing process, a practical, faithful,
non-divisive model.

Registration is now open through September 27. Cost is $25 plus a $1.50 processing fee and includes program, dinner on Friday, and lunch on Saturday.
