Fresh Expressions of Church

A fresh expression of church  is any venture that works mainly with non-churchgoers and aims to become church.  This may be but is not necessarily what most people would think of as a "church plant".  A fresh expression of church is:

  1. Missional - it works mainly with non-churchgoers    
  2. Contextual - it seeks to fit the context
  3. Formational - it aims to form disciples            
  4. Ecclesial - it intends to become church
