Rethink Church - Get Started

"Open hearts" challenges us to show kindness, acceptance, and hospitality to everyone - guests and members alike. But, what if "open" moves from an adjective to a verb and together we open hearts, open minds, and open doors? How can we rethink church as more of an out-of-building 365-days-a-year experience, where anyone seeking may find a spiritual journey they can call their own? And, what if we invited the world to come?

Key to this concept is that there isn't just one door into the church, but thousands of doors through which a person can become engaged -- many of them non-traditional.

Learn more about "Rethink Church" and what steps you can take to get your ministry ready.

Centered in Christ, committed to excellence, United Methodist Communications informs, inspires and engages the people of The United Methodist Church and the world.
