Cut off a starfish's leg, and not only does the starfish not die, but it grows a new leg; and the cut off piece grows into a new starfish! The Church on mission is like a community of starfish - decentralized, multiplying, resilient, growing, going, inhabiting. Each follower of Jesus carries ‘the DNA’ of the Kingdom and the capacity to be multiplying disciple! Starfish Community is all about sending, encouraging, equipping and developing (S.E.E.D.ing) one another with the competencies, character and content for being and doing just that!
Why?
To Send, Equip, Encourage and Develop (SEED) Kingdom leaders/missionaries and communities in neighbourhoods.... on God’s mission
What?
A practical, experiential and participatory gathering of those committed to becoming more like Jesus as His Sent Ones where He has placed them...
