Daybreak

December 3, 2005 in Churches with 2 Comments

I’m really excited about this weekend. Later today I’ll be meeting with the staff team from Daybreak. The church, located near Grand Rapids, MI, has to be one of the most creative ministries in the country. In fact, Terry and I felt so strongly about their leadership in connecting with today’s culture that we agreed they were #2 in our list of Top Ten Innovative Churches back in July.

DaybreakI hope you’ll spend some time cruising through their website to see Daybreak’s commitment to using the arts to translate the biblical message for today’s culture. They are brilliant in that area. In fact, they offer other churches some of their resources through their series JumpStarts. Also, you may want to check out the information about their Infusion conference coming up in May 2006.

This weekend if the team from Daybreak wasn’t coming to Granger to spend a little time with us, I’d head up Highway 131 to visit them and soak up as much of that creative inspiration as I could get. That makes Daybreak my "Cool Church of the Week."

    Any insights from the Daybreak team on what they would do differently these days if it was easy to switch to? I heard from a friend who is helping them get a better handle on leading worship versus performance style music that this is a direction they’d like to head more.

    Thanks for the link to daybreak. Always looking for idea kernels from inovative, artistic churches.
