About the Initiative
At NEXT Church, we know there is something powerful when a group of people from various backgrounds, contexts, and lived experiences gather to courageously engage together. The Preaching for Change Initiative stands at the intersection of what we believe and how we engage in the world in order to fully embody the radical call of faith. This five-year Lilly Endowment funded initiative will gather diverse cohorts of preachers and church leaders across the NEXT Church network who are leading congregations toward transformation in their communities, with a particular focus on justice and equity.
