Ep 086: Vibrant Ministry From A Traditional Building In A Difficult City, with Tim Walker

Why would a young church planter choose to do ministry in the poorest neighborhood of a city in crisis?

Many churches are fleeing the inner cities. Grand old church buildings with deep histories sit empty. But Tim Walker and Restored Church are facing these realities head-on in Wilkes-Barre PA.

Karl Vaters talks with Tim about subjects like:

• Their church’s Hub for Movement strategy
• Their decision to do ministry in the poorest part of town
• Ministry in a deeply post-Christian context
• Honoring history, while moving into the future from a legacy church building
• Their plan to plant a microchurch on every block of Wilkes-Barre
