Type of Experience: Worship
Content Type: Nontraditional Worship in Appalachian Style
The Wild Goose Christian Community is a 1001 New Worshipping Community in Floyd County, VA, where Old Time music, fiddling, folk hymns, and stories are all expressions of the faith and spirituality of Appalachian people. Pews have been replaced with rocking chairs, organs with banjos, and the communion cup with a Mason jar. Instead of traditional preacher-based worship, our innovative service, which we call ‘uprising’, is filled with Old Time Gospels, meditative prayers, and participants’ scripture reflections and discussions.
