Description

A Conversation & Book Signing with Gannon Sims Join Gannon as he shares about his book, Bringing Church Home: How the Family of God Makes Us A Little More Human. "In a day of statistical decline in church participation, what if we imagined marriages as little churches and households as living demonstrations of the way that God’s love is reoriented around Jesus? In the pages that follow, readers are invited into a kind of radical kinship rooted in family-community love. In his first book, author Gannon Sims shows how our homes can become hubs for mission pointing toward our true home where we—no matter our previous experiences of family or home or love—can find kinship in God." Gannon Sims is a founding team member of Fresh Expressions US, a movement seeking to bring the church Jesus loves closer to the people Jesus loves. He and his wife, Carey, along with a team of university students and young adults at The Center for Faith and Leadership in Fredericksburg, Virginia, helped give birth to The Center Community- an expression of church that patiently seeks to live out much of what is articulated in this book.
