How do we create an environment for worship that builds genuine community among those with no—or perhaps with negative, experiences of “church”? Several church planters and leaders with wide ranging experiences and different models of ministry (small church to mega church, suburban and urban, American and Asian) will discuss their approaches to inviting people to join with others in worshiping a most hospitable God.
Moderated by Moses Chung, director of Christian Reformed Home Missions, with panelists Kevin Adams (author of 150: Finding Your Story in the Psalms), Eddie Chu, Steve DeRuiter, and Dirk VanEyk.
Presented at the 2012 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
What is the role of preaching in situations of deep conflict and division? How can preaching participate in the Christian call to peacemaking? This panel will explore the connections between gospel preaching and peacemaking efforts.

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology.
