Emergent Church

A term that generally refers to a response by mainly Evangelical and mainline Christian believers to engage a rapidly changing culture in positive ways. Some are searchers who feel that they have outgrown the denomination and the religious beliefs of their youth. Others are searchers who are not affiliated with any denomination, and who are seeking for themselves a more spiritual, meaningful, and purposeful life.

The Emergent Church movement started in New Zealand and spread to the US, Canada, western Europe and Africa.
