The Shed Project, Stornoway

This short paper is one of several case studies of innovative missional initiatives presented at the ‘A Future with Hope: Resurrection, Not Restoration’ conference held at New College, Edinburgh on 9 March 2024. Describing the initiative to establish The Shed youth and community project, Rev Tommy MacNeil illustrates how a struggling congregation can be transformed into a vibrant community hub, how struggling individuals can discover the transformative power of God’s love, and how struggling disciples can learn to trust God’s ability to multiply resources as they shift from an inward focus to mission.
