What is Meso?
The Meso Layer describes the unique grouping of Christians that tends to range anywhere from about four to fifteen people. Synonymous words for describing Meso-Layer groups include: the tribe, the family, the cohort and the small group.
Why the Meso Course?
This course contains a toolbox for Christians who want to take their home church / small group to the next level. Meso outlines a great place to start for newer groups, as well.
The Point
The Meso Layer course gives practical steps to better understanding one another and to move, collectively, into deeper intimacy with one another and with God.
Who is GodGrown?
Godgrown is a collective centered on God, providing resources in spiritual formation. Mark and Katrina Willis (the people behind Godgrown) live in Chicago -- the city of onions! -- and there participate in a multi-layered, organic church network. Like the layers of the onion, they started to observe the unique layers of church gathering – and the unique needs and realities that correspond to the scale of each layer. They are pleased to present this course, as they unpack nuances and unique observations specific to the Meso Layer.
Here is how it works:
You log on from your computer - from the comfort of your own home, office or even a local coffee shop -- any time of the day that suits you. There are no scheduled meeting times and everything will be posted on the class blog. We would love your participation on the course blog, but we understand if you would like to come and go in anonymity. Lessons are posted on weekdays in PDF and in audio files (so you can download and listen to the session on your computer or mobile device, too.) All you need is a computer and little bit of time!
