Right now the church is changing in ways we can see and feel but also in ways we can’t. The changes are so systemic, most are only looking above the surface of the water.
How can we deliver the sermon via zoom cast? How can we equip our existing small groups to do a little better out in the neighborhoods? How do we get the government loans so we can keep everyone on staff?
These are important considerations but there may be more below the surface.
What if the church was a completely free venture? What should and can we now do with all this extra free time for the sake of the kingdom? What is this field ripe for right now?
How do we equip a decentralized movement instead of just holding together a consumer country club?
It is to this end Hugh Halter and Taylor McCall will guide our time. Both are practitioners in doing church as a kingdom ecosystem made up of business and neighborhood communities.

Meet Hugh Halter
Hugh Halter In 2016 Hugh and his family all moved to Alton, IL. This was the first time they moved without knowing what they would do. They discerned that God was calling them to help a small struggling town become a little better. Within a year they owned a 12,000 square foot federal post office, and with the help of family and friends family turned it into “Post Commons” which the locals call the “living room for Alton.” Under Hugh’s non-profit “Lantern Network” Hugh facilitates a coffee house, brunch kitchen, events center, whiskey society, and co-working space to birth and nurture small ventures that make a collectively large ripple.
