Broad, not tall; out not up. We're aiming to be "flat & happy." In a city (Vancouver) where it's difficult to find land and develop space (zoning laws are highly restrictive; dozens & dozen of churches are meeting in existing facilities), we are aiming to thrive in spite of not having a building, or maybe as a result of being forced to be creative in our context.

Flat organizations are exciting.  It's people driven.  It's organic.  Ownership is spread out.  Overhead is low.  Each person acts as an ambassador, not the "staff."   The city becomes our "sanctuary;"  coffee houses, university canteens, community centers.   It's grass-roots and has more a movement like feel.  It's fun. 

More posts later on how we are looking to structurally and practically make our church flat.
