These are the three best resources to help you get a first look at the Underground community and dive into the culture-shifting distinctives of our missional ecosystem.
This 35 minute documentary tells the story of the Underground while highlighting some of the microchurches in our network.
The founder of the Underground, Brian Sanders, shares the story of the Underground and the values that shaped this missional community & experiment.
Most churches are small, and rightly so. With power being redistributed in our time, networks of smaller enterprises are both growing and thriving. The yearning for participation and empowerment has us all looking for versions of church that make room for everyone. Perhaps, after all our hand wringing and insecurity about the size of our churches, we have missed the point. Microchurches can be strong, beautiful, accessible and potent portraits of just what Jesus had in mind, if not for all time, at least for ours.
