Share This Post

Outdoor worship is deeply rooted in Scripture. Throughout the history of the church outdoor worship has taken place, often out of necessity—but there are positive reasons for engaging with nature as part of our devotion.

In this newly released booklet, an extensive array of examples depicting outdoor worship is presented, accompanied by theological reflections delving into the essence of worshiping outdoors and the reasons behind its potential benefits.

The publication includes a discussion of worshipping in urban environments, offering a practical checklist to guide individuals when contemplating outdoor worship plans. Its primary goal is to prompt readers to consider their unique situations by exploring the experiences of others, providing a valuable resource for those seeking inspiration and guidance in their spiritual practices.
