Luke Edwards

Luke Edwards is the Associate Director of Church Development for the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church and a trainer for Fresh Expressions US. He is an Elder in Full Connection in the United Methodist Church. He was the founding pastor of King Street Church, a network of fresh expressions in Boone, North Carolina. He grew up in an area of western Massachusetts that was recently named the most post-Christian metropolitan area in the United States, where he joined his first micro-faith community at the age of fourteen. Between his upbringing and his work in local, regional, and national levels of the Fresh Expressions movement, Luke has a unique perspective into how creating micro-communities can offer a path for the future of the church in a post-Christian society. He lives in Denver, North Carolina, where he enjoys going for walks in the woods with his wife and daughters. His newsletter can be found at www.thelisteningchurch.com.
