From Canopy Church's Launch Day. As we all look to 2021 with hope and expectation, we may discover that we are making risky investments with our hope. In this teaching we explore two reality-defining promises of God from Revelation 21 and Isaiah 43 describing "God's grand renewal project." We consider what these promises hold for us at the start of a new year, and at the start of this brand new church. For more information, visit canopychicago.org

Exploring the biblical and sociological roots of liminality in order to name our season, and learn to navigate it like Jesus.

Jesus radically shifted what it means to be the people of God and to be part of a family. Today we begin exploring what that means for Canopy as start forming "Canopy Communities" around the city.

Jesus embodied the art and practice and hospitality. Hospitality is what turns strangers into friends, and friends into family.

Over the next few months we will be looking at our core "Startup Practices," which will be an essential part of Canopy becoming a counter-cultural movement within the powerfully formative culture of our city. These are the core practices that we intend to define the culture of this new church. Practicing the way of Jesus includes living out the radical generosity of Jesus through the practice of Giving.
