Mosaic’s Leadership Advance

At Mosaic we try to be inclusive in every arena – gatherings, small groups, service projects,, and so on.

There are a few times in which we are exclusive such as asking only those who follow Jesus to participate in the Lord’s Supper and baptism.

In addition, every week, we mention that we do not want any guest to feel an obligation to give money towards our efforts, but that giving is a natural expression of gratitude for those of us who do follow Jesus.

The only other arena where we are intentional with who can come would be Leadership Advance which is a time for us to invest, serve, refresh, and encourage our volunteer staff and some of our Mosaic Alliance leaders.

The purpose of our exclusivity remains becoming more inclusive throughout the rest of the year.

For those on volunteer staff at Mosaic, be sure to register asap!  Leadership Advance is on Sept. 26th at our Pasadena campus.

An Article about Origins

Lilian Kwon from The Christian Post wrote an article on the Origins Project. She writes:

“There’s a new community of pastors, innovators, artists and pioneers forming.

They’re calling their network “Origins” and they have three core passions: Jesus, humanity and innovation.

Their mission is to bring together passionate Jesus followers from diverse backgrounds to dream and work together so that more people would experience the transforming love of God.

Dave Gibbons, lead pastor at Newsong Church in Irvine, Calif., describes the group as “a community of friends” who are figuring out together what God is doing.

“I think it’s a group of people coming together who are saying ‘we don’t have all the answers. We really need each other,” Batterson said this past weekend in Washington, D.C.

Batterson made clear the Origins Project is not about everybody being a part of the same thing. It’s essentially a collection of individuals who are doing what they’re doing in the context of their respective ministries. And Origins provides a platform from which they can share their ideas, support one another and innovate together….”
