Hugh Halter: Adullam, Denver, Colorado

Hugh Halter is the pastor of a congregational network of incarnational communities called Adullam in Denver, Colo., and director of Missio, an apprenticing network serving the missional church movement worldwide.


Connection to Outreach magazine: The March/April 2010 “Exponential Church” column in Outreach magazine features an article by Halter discussing a new conversation in church planting–“the gathered and scattered church.”


Hugh on being “gathered and scattered”:

 

“The key for everyone is the proliferation of incarnational communities that spread out all over your city to model and be a witness of what kingdom life is all about. They are your frontline evangelistic structures, your shepherding environments, your disciple-making environments, and they keep the “sent” missional nature of the church expanding and exploding.”

 

 “It doesn’t matter if you start from scratch or are trying to renovate and morph a program or presentation-based church. You can always work toward a balance of scattered incarnational communities and meaningful gathered structures that minimize consumerism and propel the church forward.”

How Much Tech Do You Actually Need?

Because you cannot do this alone, you are going to have to trust the right individuals who know more about tech than you do. Your calling is to shepherd. Do that.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.

When Familiar Becomes Careless

God wants to be in a relationship with his people that’s not marked by fear but love. Not apprehension, but an appreciation of his great grace and compassion.
