The mission of The Center for Progressive Renewal is to renew Progressive Christianity by training new entrepreneurial leaders, supporting the birth of new liberal/progressive congregations, and by renewing and strengthening existing progressive churches.The name Progressive Renewal is the articulation of a vision that our organization exists to service the progressive church in a systematic/progressive way. We understand Progressive Christianity as a faith that believes God's family includes all people. God's people are responsible for caring for the environment, the poor, sick and vulnerable; that education, health care and civil liberties are vital to abundant life and therefore the desire of God for all people; and that truth is found more often in honest grappling with the questions than in absolute hierarchical pronouncement of the answers. We further believe that this is the type of faith for which millions of Americans hunger.Our focus is helping church leadership develop the skills needed to effectively start and renew faith communities. The Center for Progressive Renewal, partnered with leaders, judicatures, local churches and church-related organizations is strong. We are on our way to creating a world of inclusion, equality, compassion and critical imagination. We are one team with one goal: Renewing the Progressive Church Together.
