Note from the editor

The modern world has brought with it vast technological advancements, access to global travel, and an increase in isolation. The need for belonging and community has become a global need. In 2020, our world changed drastically, making the need for healthy and innovative ways of doing community even more prevalent. We at IES believe that the church isn't a specific building in a particular location. The church is the people. The church is a welcoming space for all. The church is a place where everyone belongs.
