How do we create an environment for worship that builds genuine community among those with no—or perhaps with negative, experiences of “church”? Several church planters and leaders with wide ranging experiences and different models of ministry (small church to mega church, suburban and urban, American and Asian) will discuss their approaches to inviting people to join with others in worshiping a most hospitable God.

Moderated by Moses Chung, director of Christian Reformed Home Missions, with panelists Kevin Adams (author of 150: Finding Your Story in the Psalms), Eddie Chu, Steve DeRuiter, and Dirk VanEyk.

Presented at the 2012 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
