Underground Network

The Underground is an experimental community pursuing change in the church and mission in the world. We are a place for innovative ideas, deep leadership community, and fearless pursuit of Jesus and his cause. We want to see every-day believers empowered to respond to their calling to be the church. Everything we do is aimed to unlock the church’s potential to create an empowering missional culture to send and serve lay-missionaries. We exist to inspire, engage, connect and empower missional people, churches and networks. We believe firmly that people make up the church, not buildings or budgets, or even leaders. When believers work together in sincere worship and genuine community to accomplish a part of the mission of God, they are the church.
