As our culture has changed many pastors and leaders are waking up to the fact that if we are going to continue to reach the next generation we're going to have to change how we do church as well.
The Kingdom Collective came out of a realization that this wasn't just an issue for faceless pastors and leaders at a national level but was a wakeup call for us in North East Ohio. We are a group of like minded churches committed to working together to send and support missionaries - both church planters of every stripe and Kingdom innovators - who are sent where they live, work and play carrying the hope they've found in Jesus and inviting others to that very same hope. There are many churches working together to see this happen - below are a few who have invested in seeing this collective become a reality.
