Online Community Insights
From Jackie Ryan
I invite you to join in the mission of moving beyond the biases we hold on community formation within the church to understand the social connectedness of communities outside of the church for accompaniment.

A homebound church member watching her faith community's Sunday church service alone like a TV show....
An interested person hesitant to enter a church building without knowing anyone beforehand...
A faith community reminiscing about youth programs of the past...
A common thread runs through all of these real life scenarios is the bias we tend to hold that people must come into the church for faith community and trusted relationships to form.
This initiative will focus on equipping faith communities with tangible approaches for reaching out beyond their doors to communities that are different that what they know within the church so that we can accompany and walk alongside new communities. Using social network analysis, design thinking, and social research, and partnership with a youth fellowship, the focus will first will be on youth community social networking and expanded to other communities thereafter.
