21st Century Urban Churches (Steve Pike interview)
Steve Pike has been at the forefront of church planting for thirty years. He served as founding director of Church Multiplication Network (CMN) for the Assemblies of God (USA) denomination.
Seeing a need for more church plants in cities, he founded Urban Islands Project, which exists to “increase the presence of the Church in the Urban O.” We’ll ask Steve to tell us about the Urban O.
He’s released a book entitled ‘Next Wave: Discovering the 21st Century Church’.
I’ve invited a couple friends into the conversation with Steve Pike.
Brian Egert is the director of Mission Canada, a Spirit-led agency of workers that reach into the gaps of Canadian culture where the church needs to go.
Paul Fraser is the director of the Multiply Network for the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, with a focus on encouraging a movement of church planters in Canada.
