How to be a prophetic voice for change while meeting the needs of those at the margins. Churches are increasingly being called upon to meet the urgent needs in our communities. But how do we balance this important work with the Christian call to be a prophetic voice for change?

Are handouts really the answer? How do we find time while pulling people out of the river, to go upstream and find out who is pushing them in? For this year's Hook Lecture, we welcome Jon Kuhrt to Leeds to explore our theme: is the church called to be 'Prophet' or 'Provider'?

Kuki Rokhum challenges the global church to integrate creation care into its missional theology and practice – without compromising the centrality of Christ.   
As the climate crisis deepens, creation care is racing up the UK church’s agenda. As just one example, A Rocha’s EcoChurch programme now has over 8,500 registered churches with more than 4,100 EcoChurch awards achieved, showing depth as well as breadth of engagement. Does this demonstrate the recovery of a biblical priority which the church had lost? Or is it evidence that the church has drifted away from its primary call to evangelism and adopted a contemporary secular agenda? 
If, as surveys suggest, many young people’s greatest fear is the climate crisis and the future of life on earth, should we proclaim a gospel of rescue and escape from this earth – or is demonstrating hope in Christ for the planet’s future our greatest apologetic opportunity? 

The primary paradigm of church and church planting in the New Testament, throughout history, and globally has looked like intentional communities surrendered to the leadership of Jesus proclaiming and demonstrating the Kingdom of God house to house, table to table, and in simple places like street corners, parks, and alleyways.  
Microchurches are not just a strategic innovation to meet the challenges of an increasingly non-christian and missionary context, but the rediscovery of something old and wired into us as the priesthood of all believers, hungry for deep fellowship with other disciples and a place in God’s mission. 
Whether you’re curious about microchurches, leading a microchurch, multiplying a network, or dreaming of how your existing church can pivot to or incorporate micro, join with dozens of other practitioners and tribes for shared learning and encouragement at the Microchurch Conference.
