We hear it in sermons often, “the church isn’t what happens in the pews on Sunday, but what you do in your communities throughout the week.” And yet we continue to place the event of sitting for singing and the preached word as central to the sustainability of faith. What if we could be the kind of roving fellowship to which a static location wasn’t key to spiritual sustainability, and the types of interactions as well as our travel in between them, became the mode of living? What if fellowship was determined to be most effective when it was a series of smaller, sometimes more random, meetings, and then the weekly gathering was a look at the stories that happened in those moments – a weekly YouTube channel of your social connections around your city and places of life/work/entertainment? Would it look something like the Mo Mobility System?

I hear it often from pastors that they’d want more members that think and act like this? But, without incentives for organic fellowship, or being able to model such mobility to people who aren’t single, entrepreneurs, or upwardly affluent to gather like this, how could you pull this off? Is reinventing our cities the answer where our churches aren’t able to move out of that behavioral caste?
