Church as a Verb: Decentralized Microchurch EcclesiologyTheme 01
Coming Soon

Church as a Verb: Decentralized Microchurch Ecclesiology

For centuries, Western culture has conditioned believers to view church as a noun—a place you visit, a building you enter, or a weekly show you observe. Pulley shatters this consumeristic paradigm by defining church as a verb: an extended spiritual family living in daily covenant under the lordship of Jesus and committing to a common mission. A reader learns that when ordinary Christians gather around the ecclesial minimum—worship, community, and mission—they are fully church, equipped with spiritual authority to transform their surrounding culture without institutional overhead.

Movement Infrastructure and Operational ScaffoldingTheme 02
Coming Soon

Movement Infrastructure and Operational Scaffolding

Decentralization without operational intentionality leads directly to burnout, relational chaos, and organizational collapse. Drawing from years of directing the Underground Network, Pulley demonstrates how movements can build robust, lightweight infrastructure that resources and protects hundreds of autonomous missionary leaders. A reader learns how to develop financial transparency, software platforms, coaching pipelines, and 501(c)(3) umbrellas that empower grassroots leaders rather than burdening them with bureaucratic micromanagement.

Incarnational Presence and Cultural Humility (Parable of the White Pastor)Theme 03
Coming Soon

Incarnational Presence and Cultural Humility (Parable of the White Pastor)

True cross-cultural ministry requires the death of the suburban savior complex. Drawing from his formative years leading microchurches in urban housing projects, Pulley addresses the spiritual blindness and paternalism of affluent leaders entering marginalized communities. A reader learns how to practice authentic cultural humility, listen to indigenous elders, repent of unearned institutional privilege, and lead from below in genuine solidarity with the oppressed.

Creedal Community and the Ancient AnchorsTheme 04
Coming Soon

Creedal Community and the Ancient Anchors

The greatest vulnerability of decentralized, autonomous microchurches is theological drift, syncretism, and shallow individualism. Pulley insists that the antidote to institutional control is not doctrinal vagueness, but deep, unyielding rootage in the historic Christian creeds. A reader discovers how the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds provide the theological scaffolding and boundary markers that allow microchurches to experiment freely on mission while remaining anchored to the universal Church across space and time.

The rhythm

How a formation works

1

Read the idea

Short readings and real cases open each week — the theology and the story behind the shift.

2

Practice the shift

Embodied practices and prompts move it off the page and into your actual week and neighborhood.

3

Debrief

Alone in a journal or together in a cohort — name what you saw God doing, then take the next small step.

Walking with a guide

What a cohort adds

The content is identical to the self-paced Pathway. What a cohort adds is people: a trained facilitator, a small group walking the same weeks, and the accountability of showing up together.

  • A trained facilitator guiding each session
  • A small group walking the same weeks with you
  • Live discussion, questions, and honest debrief
  • Accountability that keeps practice from drifting

Before you begin · FAQ

Questions about formation

The content is exactly the same. A Pathway is self-paced — you move through the readings and practices on your own schedule. A Cohort walks that same material with a trained facilitator and a small group on a shared weekly rhythm.
