Ep 086: Vibrant Ministry From A Traditional Building In A Difficult City, with Tim Walker
Manage episode 441928160 series 3587118
Why would a young church planter choose to do ministry in the poorest neighborhood of a city in crisis?
Many churches are fleeing the inner cities. Grand old church buildings with deep histories sit empty. But Tim Walker and Restored Church are facing these realities head-on in Wilkes-Barre PA.
Karl Vaters talks with Tim about subjects like:
- Their church’s Hub for Movement strategy
- Their decision to do ministry in the poorest part of town
- Ministry in a deeply post-Christian context
- Honoring history, while moving into the future from a legacy church building
- Their plan to plant a microchurch on every block of Wilkes-Barre
