Together we rethink church and our purpose in it by returning to what Jesus originally designed His Church to be.
We read about the church in the Scriptures, and a deep desire to experience the church in this way. But, we feel a distance and dissonance from what they experienced. As pastors and leaders we know that we are called to something more, but aren’t operating in the fullness of that calling.
- Pastors are leaving the ministry faster than ever.
- People are growing more unaffiliated with the church.
- The overwhelming majority of churches in America are not making disciples, not reaching the lost, and not planting other churches.
- The most resourced church in the history of the world has declined in generations of Christ followers.
Jesus said He would build His church. So He would give designs and plans for how to lead within His church.
eDNA- “Ecclesiological DNA”, is present throughout Scripture. There are designs for the church that should cross all people, place, and time. These designs that supported the rapid multiplication of the gospel in Scripture, history, and around the globe, are seldom practiced, but still possible today.
A biblically articulated and applied ecclesiology is happening in churches at a growing rate. Together we are walking out leading in Jesus’ plans for His church, and encouraging each other along the way.
Jason Shepperd planted Church Project, a Church of House Churches, in 2010 in The Woodlands, TX. With no people, no place, no money, and no outside support, Church Project started as nothing more than an idea. Since 2010, thousands now gather weekly in local “House Church” communities, and millions of dollars have been directed to gospel-centered ministries.
Jason has also started and oversees Church Project Network, House Church Network, GOOD CITY, START WITH 7 and GOOD GOD GOSPEL.
Jason is often a guest on podcasts, blogs, and other forums where Jesus and rethinking and returning to God’s design for His Church is being discussed. Often, Jason exchanges audience opportunities.
