Our Mission
Transforming Leaders for the Church that is Unfolding
We know the stakes are high. The Church needs healthy and courageous leaders now more than ever. That’s why we don’t shy away from the tough conversations or the hard work.

Transforming Ourselves Transforms Systems
We believe in order to change the systems around you, you have to start with yourself. When we begin with our own behaviors and actions to seek personal growth, we enter into the world transformed. The gathered Church is not an escape from the world. We believe it is a place where we practice new ways of being to resist to the ways of the world that lead to oppression and division. We return to our communities, schools, and workplaces changed so that we embody the transformative work that leads to justice and liberation.
Healthy Leaders
Seeking Wholeness
The Church needs you whole. Who you are and the journey that brought you here matters to us. Creating spaces where you can express the fullness of yourself is essential to our communal work together. We invite you to bring your whole self to our spaces in order to hear the voice of God in yourself and in those around you.

Funded by People Like You!
NEXT Church is a growing community of leaders — church members, elders, youth leaders, educators, pastors, mid-council leaders, seminarians, and church professionals — who believe the Spirit is moving powerfully in the Church today, even as what it means to be Church is changing. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit rooted in the mainline protestant tradition.

Resource Highlights
There are a lot of plug-and-play resources out there. But we know that no context is the same. That is why we focus our attention on resources and engagements that lead to impact and connect leaders in meaningful ways.
