Welcome to Renewal Collective

A church of everyday missionaries and simple churches

Who will go to those who
won’t or can’t go to church?

THE WON’TS

Nearly 60% of unchurched people will not come to church, even if invited by a trusted Christian friend. This represent 1,750,000 in the four primary counties between Baltimore and Washington DC.
It’s not just that they are not coming,
but that they won't come.

THE CAN’TS

The can'ts represent the poor, marginalized, and those most in need in our communities. They are those who can’t attend a religious gathering on a weekend due to accessibility, lack of resources, and social barriers such as the homeless, incarcerated, and elderly. It's not just that they are not coming, but that they can’t come.

Renewal Collective exists to equip and support people like you to go to the won’ts and can’ts. We want to empower and raise up everyday missionaries to plant the gospel and make disciples among those to whom God has sent us.

COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Yes. We are a church of simple churches. Missionaries and simple churches will be connected through corporate worship gatherings, common elder oversight, and a team of coaches. The larger expression of church exists to serve the smaller by providing resources necessary to send missionaries and support simple churches to bring gospel renewal to our communities.

  • Yes. We gather for weekly worship on Sundays to strengthen and supply the simple church leaders and everyday missionaries in their labor to obey Jesus and proclaim the good news of the Kingdom to their mission field.  Currently, we gather Sundays at 10am for worship, prayer, time in God's Word, and sharing a meal together.  Reach out on the connect page to learn more. 

  • Renewal Collective is currently located in Hanover, MD. This is our first church hub for training leaders, hosting worship gatherings, and serving everyday missionaries. Our desire is to plant more church hubs that will serve the four central counties between Baltimore and Washington DC: Howard, Montgomery, Prince George, and Anne Arundel. As Renewal Collective grows, we will actively pursue spaces for equipping missionaries and gathering for worship.

  • We affirm simple church as the most basic expression of the church and therefore, our ecclesiology is simple. When believers work together in sincere worship, and genuine community to accomplish a part of the mission of God, they are the church. Worship, community and mission are the minimum. Simple churches will exist in a variety of contexts such as homes, businesses, prisons, nursing homes, and other spaces where believers gather for community, worship, and mission.

  • A missionary is an everyday disciple of Jesus who identifies and lives as a sent one of God. These individuals are disciples who make disciples among those to whom God has called them to reach with the gospel. Because we desire to reach those who won’t and can’t come to church, it’s imperative that we go to them, plant the gospel, make disciples, and see a simple church birthed in the context of those we are trying to reach.

  • Gospel renewal is the power of God to save the lost, mend our broken world, and cultivate human flourishing under the victory of king Jesus. We want to join God in what he is doing to offer people new life in Christ and a glimpse of what’s to come when Jesus brings his kingdom in its fullness.

  • We exist to empower missionaries to make disciples among the won’ts and cant’s. The wont’s are the %60 plus who indicate that they will never attend a religious gathering on a weekend even if invited by a trusted Christian friend. That represents about 1,750,000 people in the four counties between Baltimore and Washington D.C. The cant’s are those who are unable to attend a religious gathering on a weekend due to accessibility, lack of resources, and social barriers.
