Rooted in the Wild: Forest Church and the Mission of God in Nature

More and more people today seek spiritual connection beyond the walls of traditional church buildings. At the same time, many are awakening to the sacredness of the earth and the urgent need for ecological care. Forest Church is an emerging expression of Christian contextual mission that meets in outdoor spaces, weaving together contemplative practice, ecological theology, and deep listening to both creation and culture.

This interactive workshop, led by the Reverend Rachel Summers, explores how Forest Church can serve as a powerful missional approach - especially for those who feel disconnected from traditional forms of church. Led by a practitioner engaged in starting and nurturing Forest Church communities, we’ll explore how to begin, the theological grounding for worship in nature, and the practicalities of gathering people who are curious, spiritual, and concerned about the planet.

This workshop fee is $10.00. Please contact ian.mobsby@niagaraanglican.ca if cost is a barrier. The proceeds from workshop admissions go to support the work of diocesan missioners.
