The Origins Project

There is so much we have yet to determine*, but this will be a community of:

	- Friends, pioneers, innovators and catalysts who want to dream and work for the Gospel together rather than alone.
	- Leaders, entrepreneurs, pastors, misfits, and artists who share a high view of Scripture and a radical commitment to evangelism while being faithfully committed to what is expressed in the Lausanne Covenant.
	- Missionally-minded people from different backgrounds who use different methods in different cultural contexts but share the same experimental passion and risk-taking heart for serving, loving, and helping people connect to God through Jesus.

If you are interested in joining this new community and
getting updates as it develops, sign up here.

“For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God….” (Acts 5:38-39 NIV)
