Join Rev. Dr. Travis Helms, the Luce Center’s 2022-23 creative-in-residence, for a special workshop designed to inspire and equip faith leaders towards creative approaches to mission and community engagement. We will begin by exploring key concepts around mission and imagination, with an emphasis on moving from theory to practice to poeisis. We’ll then dig into practical questions such as how to identify a community in need, launch a viable missional project, and sustain it through grass-roots fundraising, entrepreneurial collaboration, and strategic thinking—using LOGOS Poetry Collective as a case-study. The workshop is designed to be generative, and will incorporate exercises that allow participants to walk away with a workable vision and design for launching their own creative missional project!

This event is free and open to the public. Members of the Washington Theological Consortium and area clergy are especially welcome.
