Big Tent Christianity (BTX) is the convergence of new and old ways of being and becoming the Church:
Progressive and Emergent
Denominational and Non-denominational
Large and Small Faith Communities
Describable and Undescribable
BTX brings people together from across the country to proclaim what unites us as followers of Jesus in this modern world. More than a dozen leading Christian voices will break through boundaries to share new and innovative forms of ministry and renewal. You will be inspired by their visions of how we can speak even more powerfully in and to the world of the 21st century.
The gathering will include presentations, responses and discussion with speakers and with each other. There will be a Big Tent of music with creative versions of traditional music along with contemporary music–myriad ways that reflect our common ground.
