This week on the Church in Action Program, we have an interesting discussion on innovative ways to “do church”, evangelism and disciple making. We are joined by Chris Backert, Senior Director of Fresh Expressions North America, and Kathleen Blackey, Senior Coordinator of Communications for Fresh Expressions and Co-Pastor of First Baptist Church of South Londonderry, Vermont. We hope you enjoy this fun and unique conversation!

This week, Dr. Terry Dorsett, Executive Director of the Baptist Churches of New England, joins the Church in Action Program. Dr. Dorsett has been serving in ministry throughout New England since 1994 and has much to add regarding church revitalization. In this conversation, he discusses the difference between church planting and revitalization and how existing churches can refocus and reshape how they bring the gospel to the community.

Pastor Bryan Cerrone, Waterbury Campus Pastor at Walnut Hill Community Church, joins us to discuss his new book, Embers of Hope: When Depression Comes to the Church. The discussion is an enlightening and encouraging discussion about loving Jesus and therapy, being committed to following Jesus while still wrestling with depression and anxiety, and the call for a conversation between the church and those experiencing depression.
