Comments on: Future of Unichurch: Option 3: Split http://blog.stmatthewsunichurch.org.au/2008/11/30/future-of-unichurch-option-3-split/ Ideas, thoughts and ramblings from the Unichurch staff Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:36:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Laura Bailey http://blog.stmatthewsunichurch.org.au/2008/11/30/future-of-unichurch-option-3-split/comment-page-1/#comment-66 Laura Bailey Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:01:51 +0000 http://www.stmatthewsunichurch.org.au/blog/?p=79#comment-66 The Vidiology sermon by Mars Hill Church is interesting and I think relevent to the future of uni church. I think more time slots on a sunday is a great way to go. I know some unbelivers would be uncertain of a church that meets on a weekday, and CU acts like a church at uni already. Just some ideas to think about :) The Vidiology sermon by Mars Hill Church is interesting and I think relevent to the future of uni church.

Deacon: Sounds like a business to me. Doesn't look anything missional at all. Goes right along with the old institutional church model. Usher: I thought it was about 'missional'? Deacon: Missional to those who have been raised in the institutional church is just a new way to build and end up with the same old thing. Usher: I guess so. Note his issues are all about "the sermon", "the programmes", "the worship". It's once again - a production. Deacon: Institutional upbringing + institutional education + insitutional leaders = INSTITUTIONAL CHURCHES (in missional clothing).

I look forward to hearing what you think. May I add a big thanks to the fantastic effort by Jon Rumble (and perhaps others?) to giving us an awesome Unichurch Website with great features that surpasses most others - I have had many positive comments by young pastors from overseas who surf the net regularly. Keep it up Jon!

It would be difficult for non-uni students to be part of that congregation but that is when people are at uni. This would raise the question of how our mission to reach the campus intersects with the work of other Christian groups on campus.
