A Path Forward
Introducing The ELCA Innovation Lab
The Congregations Lead Initiative is an effort of the ELCA Innovation Lab to equip congregations to unleash and harness their collective genius and discover new and useful ministry innovations. The first cohort of the Congregations Lead Initiative concluded in Fall 2023, with member congregations implementing their grant-funded Capstone Experiments. This video features reflections from Program Director Rebecca Payne and several cohort members regarding their community's experience with the Initiative. The Congregations Lead Initiative was also featured in an October 2023 Living Lutheran article by Jennifer Bringle, "Leading the way forward: Congregations Lead Initiative focuses on ministry innovation."
