Church on the Move: A Conversation with Pastor Travis Norvell

At the Table: Christian Community for the Common Good

Today’s episode is a conversation with Pastor Travis Norvell, known around town and on Twitter as the Pedaling Pastor. Travis serves at Judson Memorial Baptist Church in South Minneapolis and can often be seen riding his bike around the neighborhood, connecting with community members. He’s the author of “Church on the Move: A Practical Guide for Ministry in the Community”, a book that highlights the impact possible when churches leave the car at home and bike, walk, and bus in their neighborhood. He has a vision for what he calls the bikeable parish – a geography of ministry that focuses our attention locally and attends to the small simple ways we connect as community. In this conversation,
Pastor Travis and I talk about what churches can discover from the seat of a bicycle, how to reimagine church parking lots, and what it means to embrace a new relationship to time as church’s rooted in place. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Pastor Travis Norvell.
