Global change starts with you and me, and Sunday morning feels like a perfect time to practice. Flipped church is about creating intentional spaces where every voice adds to the collective wisdom, and where speaking1 is as sacred as listening2.
On any given week you'll hear from at least 5 people: your conversation partners, the facilitator, and the creator of that week's source material. Diverse perspectives give us opportunities to learn from one-another, encounter new ways of thinking, and add nuance to our beliefs.
Nope! We are not against anyone. There are, however, lots of things we are excited about. Here are a few of those things in no particular order...
We got the name from the “Flipped Classroom.”
The flipped classroom is all about practice and making the best use of our time together.
An audience/lecture format is one way to structure a gathering. Why not devote in-person time to asking questions, working in groups, and embodying the ideals we like to talk about?
Yes, and we recommend testing the waters first. For example, adding an additional flipped service to your existing Sunday schedule. Quarterly or monthly services might also be a good thing to try.
If you are a decision maker in an established church and would like to brainstorm ways to partially or completely flip your church please send an email to neighborlychurch@gmail.com-
Nope! All are welcome to share, but no one is required to.
Start by subscribing to the newsletter. If there's a new blog post, event, or exciting update we'll post about it there. You're also welcome to email us at neighborlychurch@gmail.com.
You have the power to pause, rewind, or step away from that week's message. Pick the learning style that works best for you. If you want to share with the group, you can share before, during, or after the Sunday gathering.
