See the Future Face of the Church & Activism at Origins

The Church in America is changing, and Origins is at the forefront.

Origins is a worldwide network of leaders who follow Jesus thriving on the diversity and creativity growing in the Church. It’s an externally-focused network of creatives, business leaders, activists, educators, and leaders that exist to love humanity and serve the mission of Jesus.

If you want to understand and experience the evolving face of Christianity, one that represents the diversity, passion, and creativity found in the ways of Jesus, Origins’ inaugural event is the place to find it. It is an active- not passive-event.

On Friday, July 23, attendees will serve residents of Los Angeles through practical service projects. They will partner with leading organizations in the city to serve the poor on Skid Row and learn how to facilitate community care from city leaders in a tour of Los Angeles.

On Saturday, July 24, in Club Nokia at L.A. Live, Origins will gather at its inaugural event to be insprired, renewed, and moved toward collaboration by leading thinkers in numerous fields of thought. Just a few of them include:

Erwin McManus is the catalyst behind Awaken, McManus Studios, and Mosaic and is widely known as an author, speaker, activist, filmmaker, and innovator who specializes in the field of developing and unleashing personal and organizational creativity, uniqueness, innovation and diversity.

Margaret Feinberg was recently named one of the ’30 Emerging Voices’ who will help lead the church in the next decade by Charisma magazine and one of the ’40 under 40’ who will shape Christian publishing by Christian Retailing. She has written more than two dozen books and Bible studies including the critically-acclaimed “The Organic God”

Scott Harrison is the founder of charity: water, an organization committed to bringing clean and safe water to over 1 billion people in the world. His work has been featured in over 300 media outlets including The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX news.

The Origins Project is a network meant to spur activity, love and service. The inaugural event is an essential primer for anyone trying to understand the current Christian generation and an invitation to join in a movement changing the world.

!deation (KooDooZ, Charity Water, & Lemonade Int’l)

Charles Lee created and hosted the !deation Conference.  Here are more highlights:

Lee Fox created KooDooZ which is a website designed to empower youth by challenging them to find their life balance of heart, mind, body and spirit. Whether it’s attaining a personal goal, accomplishing a community objective, or being part of a humanitarian cause, KooDooZ lays the foundation for middle and high school kids to understand how to articulate and act upon their own values, motivations and passions.

Scott Harrison and Charity Water seeks to bring clean water to the 1 billion people who do not have it by using 100% of public donations to directly fund sustainable water solutions. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren’t strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other illnesses.
