The Church is Alive

Welcome to the churchisalive.com!



Hello and welcome to thechurchisalive.com, where our mission is to exhibit, connect and inspire!

Firstly, make sure you take a gander at our invitation video above (it’s a good one).

Secondly, we know what you’re thinking – so what is thechurchisalive.com? In a nutshell, The Church is Alive project stems from an idea that the Church is more than what some currently believe. We have heard the worries and anxieties that say that the church is "dying" or "already dead", but instead we believe that the church is alive, vibrant, and a powerful force for good in the world. We believe that the Holy Spirit is breathing new life into all corners of our denomination, and that our body of believers is rich with stories of giving back, exploring fresh approaches to community, and discovering new ways to worship God.

So why have a website? Well, In order to capture how the church is alive, we thought it best to go to the source: YOU! We want to hear your stories, so we are asking you to submit your own videos of how you think the church is alive. These could be examples of service projects, new forms of worship, new attempts at community, or other ways people are bringing life and vibrancy into the church. We only ask that you keep these videos to about a minute and a half in length. Once we receive these submissions, we will select some to exhibit on this website, along with a brief description of the project and the people involved – so keep checking this blog!

For more info on what we do and why we do it, check out our About page.

Now, if you’ve already got a video that you think exhibits how the church is alive, then simply follow the instructions on our Submit page and then shoot it our way!

To connect to other thechurchisalive.com visitors, pay a visit to our Connect page (it’s pretty barren now, but there will be more soon!)

Otherwise, take some time to explore the videos we already have on our front page. If you like the content, make sure you click the links underneath each video. Think we’re missing something? Make something on your own!

We know that there isn’t a lot on this website right now – we’re leaving that up to YOU. YOU are living congregants of a new age. YOU are the creative force that will forge a new, brighter era within the church. YOU are what keeps the church alive today – show us how!

This project cannot be a success without you. Speak up. Film it. Be heard.

The Church is ALIVE.
