REFRAME CHURCH — HOW REFRAME WORKS
A Simple Movement. A Shared Way. Many Expressions.
Reframe Church is a Jesus-centered movement helping people and churches rediscover authentic community, spiritual formation, and shared purpose.
Reframing Church Starts with Reframing How We Gather.
Reframe Church is not a program, denomination, or new model to copy. It’s a movement built around presence, belonging, and following Jesus together — wherever life already happens.
It exists in two interconnected expressions:
Gatherings beyond the walls — in bars, coffee shops, homes, and everyday spaces
Renewal within the walls — helping existing churches listen, heal, and grow healthier
Reframe Church believes that church is not something you attend. It’s something you practice — together.
What Reframe Church is NOT
Reframe Church is not:
A replacement for local churches
A franchise or formula
A Sunday service alternative
A “one-size-fits-all” strategy
A brand built on performance or personalities
Instead, Reframe Church is a framework — a way of being church that adapts to people, places, and contexts while keeping Jesus at the center.
The Reframe Church Way
Reframe Church follows a simple, repeatable rhythm that works in both Gatherings and traditional churches.
1. LISTEN FIRST
Everything begins with listening — to God, to stories, and to lived experiences.
We listen for:
Longings
Hurt
Hope
Questions
Where the Spirit is already at work
Listening creates trust. Trust creates space for transformation.
2. CREATE SAFE SPACE
Reframe spaces are emotionally and spiritually safe.
This means:
No pressure to perform or conform
No prerequisite beliefs to belong
Honest conversation over polished answers
Curiosity instead of control
Safety is not compromise — it’s hospitality.
4. PRACTICE FAITH TOGETHER
Faith is formed through shared practices, not just shared beliefs.
Reframe emphasizes:
Conversation over sermons
Prayer in everyday language
Scripture explored together
Simple rhythms of gratitude, generosity, and service
Discipleship happens through proximity and practice.
3. GATHER AROUND A TABLE
Tables matter because they:
Flatten hierarchy
Invite participation
Encourage conversation
Reflect how Jesus formed people
Whether in a bar, living room, or church hall, Reframe gatherings are relational before they are instructional.
5. LIVE SENT
Reframe communities don’t exist for themselves.
They are sent:
Into neighborhoods
Into workplaces
Into relationships
Into the ordinary rhythms of life
Church doesn’t end when the gathering ends — it continues wherever people go.

Why Reframe Church Exists
We live in a moment where:

Leaders are exhausted and isolated
Communities are fractured
Belonging feels rare

Honest
Healing
Hospitable
Grounded in Jesus
