Taking church to the streets
Pastor Matt Schubert
We often hear these days that we live in a post-Christian society. And yet, the LCA and other denominations are planting new churches among our growing suburban communities. Church planter and newly ordained Specific Ministry Pastor Matt Schubert, of Everhope Church south of Perth, offers his reflections on why church plants can reach people established churches have not, as he talks about his journey in ministry and the formation of his new faith community.
Church plants haven't got some of the stuff that you might look to for security as a church. A lot of that is stripped away and it's just more obvious our need for God.
It really is still the ancient way of word and sacrament ministry, bringing people the goodness of Jesus, calling them to repentance and faith. It's old-school, but it's constantly learning what that looks like in a post-Christian, 21st-century Australia. It's a wild ride but it's been fun.
