The church Renewal Lab is a two-year process that helps churches clearly articulate a vision of who they are and what they sense God is leading them to do in their congregation and community at this particular time. It is a process that is being guided by a lead team of eight people here at Fellowship Church, and is in connection with seven other churches throughout North America all going through the same Renewal Lab process together at the same time.
Our Renewal Lab Lead Team here at Fellowship Church is Dave Cook, Shelly Funk, Jim Kortman, Andrew Lenhart, Linda Philo, Pastor Barb Sanders, Pastor Tom VanderPloeg, and Bruce Van Ryn.
