Discovering the Fourth Church

Have you ever felt lost or confused in your identity as a Christian as it relates to the church? Weaving through the stories and wisdom from a variety of over 18 pastors and ex-pastors, protestants and catholics, and business and non-profit leaders, this series journeys through the prevalent expressions of the church and unveils a wonderful secret hiding in plain sight.

More than any other time in history, Christians are leaving the church without necessarily leaving the faith. The usual models of little-c church and Big-C Church fails to help us properly understand this phenomenon, particularly because Christians have very different understandings of the meaning of Big-C Church. To recover our lost identities, we must approach this growing crisis with a better model - and a better story - to address the past, present, and future of the church.

It is time to reflect on the community service church's primary influences in our personal and communal lives today...and which primary influences have been replaced.
