It's time for your congregation to go on a journey!
The Greatest Expedition is a congregational journey for churches, charges, or cooperative parishes led by a church Expedition Team of 8-12 brave pioneering leaders. The purpose of The Greatest Expedition is to provide an experience for Expedition Teams to explore their local context in new ways to develop new MAPS (ministry action plans) so they are more relevant and contextual to reach new people in their community. Post-modern tools and experienced guides are provided for the church’s Expedition Team. Yet, it is a “choose your own adventure” type of journey. The tools and guides will be provided, but it is up to the church’s Expedition Team to decide which tools are needed, which tools just need sharpening, which tools can stay in their backpack to use at a later time, what pathways to explore, and what pathways to pass by.
The Greatest Expedition experience provides a new lens and tools to help your Expedition Team explore and think about being the church in new relevant methods.

- Will your Expedition Team need to clear the overgrown brush from a once known trail, but not recently traveled?
- Will your Expedition Team need to cut a brand new trail with your new tools?
- Will your Team decide you need to move to a completely fresh terrain and begin breaking ground for something brand new in a foreign climate?
Market Square is the proud publisher of all the ministry tools used in The Greatest Expedition. Nineteen leading coaches, consultants, and practitioners from across the country were commissioned to create twenty-four brand new resources specifically for The Greatest Expedition journey. There are two different packs designed for two different types of journeys: The Essentials Pack and the Expansion Pack.
The Essentials Pack
The Essentials Pack is designed for churches who might be feeling stuck or perhaps just not sure what to do next. The church might be in decline or stagnant in growth. The congregation may have a burst of energy, but unable to determine how to faithfully direct this energy. The church may have some ministry tools in place, but feeling like some of their ministry tools are outdated, in need of sharpening, or perhaps even a whole new ministry toolkit is needed. The Essentials Pack will likely best fit a small to mid-sized church ready to take their church to the next level. However, a larger church that was once even larger or now feels they need a restart could also benefit from the Essentials Pack.

The Expansion Pack
The Expansion Pack is designed for churches who have all but mastered the tools in the Essentials Pack and are ready to take their next high-level adventure. A church’s Expedition Team primed for the Expansion Pack will be ready to think beyond their existing ministries and beyond their existing worshiping community, have a drive for something beyond what is already in existence, and a sense of urgency to go beyond what is known and comfortable. The Expansion Pack is for those teams looking to multiply ministries exponentially with a focus towards new, more diverse people by not only thinking outside the box but perhaps even exploring as though there is no box at all.
