Introduction To The Hub

THE HUB MISSION

1. To share our faith by looking outward to our neighbourhood 
2. Building partnerships in our community and beyond. 
3. The Hub allows us to connect to other United Churches in need of leadership through technology
4. Connecting and enriching our Faith Community.
   

WHAT IS MULTI-SITE WORSHIP?

In response to a resolution passed at the 43rd General Council, Rural Connect has been established to support rural congregations through the use of technology. Using the model of a hub church partnering with satellite churches, a cluster of congregations are joined together for a fully interactive, live worship service with participation from all of the partner churches. 

If your church would like to try worshiping with us, we have one opening in July & August.

HOW IT WORKS

• The Host Church prepares the service in one document.
• Participating satellite churches become involved in worship by leading parts of service from their locations: i.e., Prayers, Scripture, Call to Worship, Children’s time etc. 
• Music is shared from all locations:  musicians/choirs etc. 
• Partnering churches obtain a Satellite Box – rental or purchase
• Cost to engage in HUB worship is comparable to lay supply
• Currently multi site worship occurs every Sunday

THE SATELLITE BOX
