May 17-20 2022 | Madison, WI

As practicing missional ecclesiologists, we value learning from and with each other at Mission Anabaino. In addition to the papers being presented at our annual collaborative, we have built in discussions and free time so that we might be inspired and encouraged by sharing with one another. MA is committed to coaching and supporting church planters, assessing and developing interns, fostering a church planting culture, and cultivating and allocating resources toward church planting. MA also builds collegial relationships among church planters with outside entities, networks, and partners.

Our 2022 theme is focused on "Reconstructing the Faith: The Power of the Church for the Good of the World."  We'll be talking about the power of influence, the power of jurisdiction, and the power of order. Each session will be presented by an MA Collaborator in the context of missional ecclesiology and church planting, and will include facilitated large group collaboration, with the opportunity for smaller break out groups.  Our MA host church this year is Resurrection Madison, with planting pastor Rev. Matt Grimsley.  We'll experience an evening of worship on-site in this local context on Wednesday evening, and enjoy a city excursion to the capital and campus. All meals and scheduled activities are included during the collaborative.
