ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (Mennonite Mission Network) –
Over 80 church leaders from across
the country came together for SENT 2019 at Beloved Community Mennonite Church
on April 26-28 in Englewood, Colorado. The SENT conference, now in its fourth
year, is a peace church conference hosted by Mennonite Mission Network that helps
connect, inspire, and equip church leaders to seed new churches, as well as
reinvigorate legacy congregations. The weekend conference was marked by
blues-influenced worship, small group seminars, and an introduction to the SENT
Network, a six-month education course for church planters that will be
released in the fall.
"It’s good to see that
Mennonite Church USA, through Mennonite Mission Network is taking seriously the
call to plant churches," said Clyde Kratz, executive conference minister
for Virginia Mennonite conference. "[The Church’s] future is bright. And
that brightness comes from planting these first-generation churches, and supporting
them."
