The Emerge

Found this site today, check it out: theemerge.com. Looks like a lot of interesting conversations on the church and the future of the church.

It started as a vision during a worship conference in San Diego, Ca. in 2003. A vision to provide an alternative service to this wondering generation. For the first two years God put it on hold while He was molding and making the foundation on which theemerge.com would be founded.
"The Emerge" was first visioned to be a alternative worship service for young adults and teens, something to substitute the usual Sunday Morning stuff. Many churches were doing it at the time and still many do it today. "The Emerge Service" first launch was a well planned, well thought out disaster. Hours upon hours of planning and prayer were given to it. We even had shirts made for the staff that were a bit tight. But "The Emerge Service" died before it even started. It wasn't that it sucked, it actually rocked, but God called it quits right after it's launch. Why the chaos, we still don't know. But because of the events that followed those pioneer days theemerge.com would finally come to it's given nature.
With drastic events during it's conception theemerge.com was birthed as a launching pad for a conversation in faith; what it was always meant to be. Something simple, yet profound. A place where you can go to share what you really feel, think, believe. A place that's as real as you want it to be.
God is evolving this place daily into whatever He desires. Only He knows where it's been and where it may go.
