What is Macro?

The Macro Layer describes the unique collective of Christians that tends to range anywhere from about thirty to two-hundred people (this is the most difficult layer to define). Synonymous words for describing Macro-Layer groups include: the region, the network, the collective and the congregation.

Why the Macro Course?

This course contains a toolbox for Christians who want to take their church network / big group to the next level. Macro outlines a great place to start for newer networks, as well.

The Point

The Macro Layer course gives practical steps to better understanding one another and to move, collectively, into deeper intimacy with one another and with God.

Who is GodGrown?

Godgrown is a collective centered on God, providing resources in spiritual formation. Mark and Katrina Willis (the people behind Godgrown) live in Chicago -- the city of onions! -- and there participate in a multi-layered, organic church network. Like the layers of the onion, they started to observe the unique layers of church gathering – and the unique needs and realities that correspond to the scale of each layer. They are pleased to present this course, as they unpack nuances and unique observations specific to the Macro Layer.
