A new educational opportunity has opened up in honor of the late author and missiologist, Lesslie Newbign (1909-1998). In cooperation between the Reformed Church in America, Western Theological Seminary and City Church San Francisco the "Newbigin House" opened with an inagural conference which included a keynote address from author/theologian N.T. Wrignt. The conference also welcomed faculty from Western Theological Seminary including Dr. George Hunsberger, President Dr. Tim Brown and Vice President of Academic Affairs  Dr. Leanne Van Dyk as well as former General Secretary of the RCA, Wes Granberg-Michaelson. It's mission is to provide theological, cultural and spiritual formation for men and women interested in a wise and engaging missional impact in an increasingly secularized culture. 

"The Newbigin House is designed to raise up a generation of missional leaders who can plant congregations in urban areas - and to assist in the work to raise up a generation of men and women to have an impact in the areas they come from," says Tim Brown. "I am so proud of my faculty and board of trustees and donars and students because I believe God is urging us on to do this."
