The foundations of biblical community were built for the future, allowing us to soar on the wings of innovation. In this session, Bill Donahue talks with three church leaders about emerging trends in community life that portend both chaotic change and unprecedented opportunity.
Denise is a nationally recognized speaker and trainer, specializing in team building and leadership development. She is a founding partner in Deep Shift Coaching and Consulting and recently served at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville, Mich. as pastor of community life. Denise has been published in Leadership Journal and is the author of Leadership 101. She has four children and three grandchildren.
Bobby is a pastor and innovation leader at LifeChurch.tv, one of the largest and fastest growing churches in America. Bobby’s forward-thinking leadership and vision have helped pioneer new approaches to ministry using technology, including the LifeChurch.tv Internet campus and a campus on the Web-based virtual world Second Life. Through Bobby’s leadership, the church has made it a practice to share the creative resources and innovative ideas that it has developed with other ministries and churches free of charge through its LifeChurch.tv/Open initiative. Bobby and his wife, Melissa, have a daughter, Audrey.
Steve spent years working in California’s Silicon Valley, providing leadership in various capacities to Genesis Technology, Inc. and Twin Peaks Software. Then, 12 years ago, he started a church and most recently served as a pastor at Crosswinds Church in the San Francisco Bay Area. Wu is now committed to building Willow Creek Community Church’s Chicago regional campus.
Mike has served as a teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church since 2003. He also serves as a teaching pastor for Heartland Community Church, an innovative ministry in Rockford, Ill. Before moving to Chicagoland, Mike spent eight years as the senior pastor at Southland Christian Church in his hometown of Lexington, Ky. Prior to that, he led a team to start Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas, Nev. Mike is a graduate of Lincoln Christian College and Seminary in Illinois. Mike has a passion for seeing people’s hearts connect to the life-changing grace of God, and his engaging style of teaching often makes room for that to happen. His teaching began with youth and since 1988, he’s been doing what he calls “youth ministry for big people.” He is the author of Making Ripples and Identity Theft. Mike and his wife, Debbie, have three children and two grandchildren.

"The ideal of community is not the forcing together of separate individuals into the spurious unity of community… community somehow already exists. When we come together in compassion and generosity, this hidden belonging begins to come alive between us." —John O'Donohue, Eternal Echoes
