The Restorer-Minded Church

What would it look like for a church to not only release its people into the world to fulfill their mission but to come beside them to enable their dreams? In Portland, one of the most progressive and unchurched cities in America, Imago Dei has learned how to empower their people to do more than show up on Sunday mornings. They train them to become restorers. Learn from Pastor Rick McKinley the principles that have made his community a beacon of light in the midst of a fog of disbelief.

Get Saved!

Christians are too concerned with converting people. They seem more concerned with keeping a toll on the people who they "get saved" rather then create genuine relationships with them. In the book, unChristian, 7 out of 10 people see Christians being insensitive to others and concerned only with converting people.

Subverting Empire

Over the course of viewing the Q Austin talks, you will be exposed to a variety of new thoughts. The topics are far-reaching and, at times, difficult to comprehend their significance in the daily life of the church. All of this can be a bit overwhelming, but finding practical ways to work this out at the local level can be a real gift. Rick McKinley has first-hand experience with integrating a culture-shaping philosophy into the life of his church. As we closed this year's Q - Rick helped us point the way forward as one of us – a pastor, learner and leader of the next generation, who is shaping Portland culture while changing the way its citizens view the church.
