Abstract

This project addressed an urgent need of best practices of radical hospitality, God's welcome, at First United Methodist Church of Freeport in the Northern Illinois Conference. As its pastor, the author taught the congregation the best practice of radical hospitality, and instituted generational transition for 2014 church leadership. The hospitality ministries team was created. In eighteen months' practice and teaching of radical hospitality, most key leaders are now younger, relatively new, or more engaging. The hospitality and shepherding ministry team actively practices radical hospitality for the congregation. The congregation has been appreciative of the new culture of hospitality. Pastoral leadership reveals God's welcome that is playful and artful.
