The church's R&D department.

One of the take-aways from the PCUSA Big Tent Event in Louisville last week is the roll of new ministries. New ministries serve as the place where the church experiments with new ideas that include new groups of people. There is great energy in new ministries, because the people involved are participating in a new thing (Isaiah 43:19) that God is doing. That energy, and the successes that come out of that energy, inform and inspire the older congregations in a presbytery. In essence, the new ministry has the potential to renew a whole system of churches, serving as the R&D Department of the Church.

What new ministries are needed within the bounds of the Presbytery of Yukon?
