David Loar at gathering in Charlotte

David Loar will be at the Origins conference in Charlotte, NC Oct 15-18. It is sponsored by the Mosaic Alliance and will be led by Erwin McManus of Mosaic Church in LA. Jack Michael who grew up in and is a member of Fairlawn West Church, now lives in MInneapolis and is a candidate for ordination to ministry in the United Church of Christ, will also be attending.

"This gathering of catalytic, pioneering, and entrepreneurial leaders will motivate and equip your team to create an apostolic ethos in your community.

Origins is a leadership development experience designed to equip church and para-church leaders for mission in our diverse, pluralistic, urban, and multicultural 21st century context. Origins also serves as the annual convergence for the Mosaic Alliance, Origins Project churches, and other like-minded ministries.

The Origins experience is designed to immerse your thinking in a cultural architecture for the 21st century. At Origins you will connect with leading practitioners from around the world, Erwin McManus (Cultural Architect of Mosaic), and the leadership team from Mosaic. The entire experience will amplify the frameworks of ministry set forth in the scriptures and laid out in Erwin McManus’ book, An Unstoppable Force: Daring to Become the Church God Had in Mind."
