This item doesn’t fit the GracePress Kingdom News campaign focus, so I haven’t written a draft from it. The source is a first-person reflection by a former pastor of First Baptist Church of Minneapolis, a Baptist congregation, about its 2023 replanting as River City Church. It isn’t about a nondenominational or megachurch congregation, and it doesn’t report news such as a leadership decision, legal matter, or public statement by a church or its pastors. It’s an essay on church revitalization and the gospel pattern of dying to bear fruit.
If you have a news item about a nondenominational or megachurch congregation, its pastors, networks, or ministries, send it and I’ll write the draft from the supplied facts.
