Vibrant Ministry From A Traditional Building In A Difficult City, with Tim Walker (ep 86)

Why would a young church planter choose to do ministry in the poorest neighborhood of a city that's seen better days?

Many churches have fled 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.

I talk with Tim in a wide-ranging conversation that addresses subjects like:

  • Their plan to plant a microchurch on every block of Wilkes-Barre
  • 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
