Cheer up! The church’s future is complicated and contested, but it’s also certain. thegspl.co/3oCxQAu
It was such a delight to host Al Gordon on the Making Space Podcast! We believe in the movement the Saint Church is spearheading: bringing beauty back to churches as an apologetic of the extravagant goodness of God. aspengroup.com/makingspacepo…
.@algord0n joins @JayKimthinks and @BenWindle on the latest episode of the Making Space Podcast—created by @Aspen_Group and Barna—to share the story of their church renovation in East London, including how they’ve used their church space as a “cathedral of creativity” and some of the tangible ways they have served the needs of the community they’re planted in.
