Seeking Missional-Incarnational Team Members to Call Chicago Home
It starts with a sense of calling! Ministry in the city isn't a good idea, an assignment, or merely an exciting adventure. It is a calling. Reach77 is seeking to extend its impact into new neighborhoods through the lives and ministries of missional-incarnational teams called to give themselves away to their neighbors. If you are sensing a calling to the city, have the capacity to lead creatively, and a desire to connect with a beautifully diverse set of neighbors, then contact Reach77 for a conversation about your future.
Who can serve the city?
In their book City Shaped Churches, Linda Berquist and Michael Crane suggest a few different categories:
Natives: Those who have grown up in the community, who call it home, know its rhythms, and have an extensive network of influence.
Sojouners: Those who find themselves at a transition stage of life through work, school, or ministry, those who can give 2-7 years in cultivating a fresh expression of the Kingdom.
Settlers: Those who feel called to a particular place and sense God sending them to stay. Though non-native, they quickly fall in love with the city and call it home.
