Rebuilding the Church

God called Francis of Assisi to rebuild the church. Francis started by collecting stones and repairing walls of rundown chapels. Then he started to live out the good news of Jesus by loving those on the margins of society and new life entered the church. 

Many people today would say that the church is again in need of renewal. What could that look like?  If you have been asking this question, discover hope and encouragement by following Francis’ journey to rebuild the church in 13th century Italy as well as by participating in conversations around topics of rebuilding the church today during The Franciscan Way with Faculty Ministry.
