Fresh expression
Fresh Expressions is an international, cross-denominational movement within Christianity that seeks to develop new forms of church in collaboration with existing congregations. Its aim is to engage individuals who have never participated in church or who have left traditional church settings. Rather than focusing on conventional Sunday morning services, Fresh Expressions emphasizes forming faith communities in locations where people naturally gather within contemporary culture. According to the FX Denominational Partners (2006), "a Fresh Expression is a form of church for our changing culture established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church".
