3 Week Cohort: Composing Church Services in a Post-Evangelical Context
Continuing the conversation about reimagining what church can look like beyond the familiar evangelical model
Meeting Tuesdays, Oct 20, 27 & Nov 3 • 7PM ET / 4PM PT
Based on Becky Ykema’s book, Composing Church Considerations for the Modern Creative Leader
Much care goes into how we curate the spaces and practices of worship, especially for those of us reimagining what church can look like beyond the familiar evangelical model. As we discern what to carry forward and what to leave behind, it’s worth considering how our values and theology shape what we create. Composing Church Considerations for the Modern Creative Leader was released on June 14, 2026, in partnership with Punchline Publishers.
Becky Ykema’s book will serve as the foundation for a free, three-week cohort exploring the themes that arise when composing church services. Whether you’re a volunteer or staff, pastor, music leader, or technical leader, this cohort is for you.
