1. What is Imagine?
Imagine is a practical, prayerful process designed to help churches listen carefully, reflect honestly and discern where God may be calling them next.
It creates space for people to celebrate what is fruitful, consider what may need to change, and explore new possibilities for sharing Jesus at the heart of their community.
People • Prayer • Possibilities
2. How does it work?
Imagine follows three simple movements:
Listen Faithfully
Bring people together to listen carefully to one another, to the community around them and to what God may be saying through the conversation.
Discern Prayerfully
Gather what has been heard, identify the themes that are emerging, and bring them prayerfully before the church’s leadership.
Respond Courageously
Move from conversation to action by considering the questions, priorities and possibilities God may be placing before the church.
The gathering itself is built around accessible table discussion, helping people reflect on Loving Our Community, A Culture of Invitation and Encountering Jesus.
