Seeking the Heart of Your City or Town

Evangelism & Justice

Vineyard pastors in Mountain, Northwest, and Midwest North regions by open invite. We’ll be exploring the question, “If the kingdom of God were to touch your city or town, what would change?”
Intro
Introduction to Seeking the Heart of Your City or Town
About
About
Do you want to love your city or town well? Good news! God has a heart for the place where you live already.

During this module, we’ll unpack how your local church can grow in prayer, learn your city’s redemptive history, get started with serving, discern impact and next steps, and then jump into this adventure of loving the community around you in practical ways.

Associate National Director of Evangelism and Justice, Josh Williams, will unpack how to walk through all six steps as he shares lessons, stories, reflection prompts, and challenges that will inspire you to grow your relationship with your city or town this season. It all starts with this question: If the Kingdom of God came into your city, what would change? Get dreaming and see you on the journey!
