In Christianity there have been scads of "new things under the sun" - from the Counsel of Nicea, to the Reformation, to the first and second Great Awakenings, to Vatican II, The Jesus Movement and so one.
The Church will never stop evolving, changing, reforming, breaking off, coming together, or growing.
That is because, like it or not, there is a scriptural basis for this. We are a Living Body. The Body of Christ on Earth.
Change and movement are part of life.
The Movement took it's name from this idea and the fact that things that are alive, move.
Dead things do not move. The name has several layers of meaning. It also may refer to the Movement of the Holy Spirit.
Don't be so literal, OK? There are not many new churches in this millennium that are being named "First" or after the name of a street or town. It's interesting to me as one who studies language and culture, that these new names and new churches have names that are more descriptive of the church and it's vision, than ever before. From Elevations Church in North Carolina, to Simple Church in Ohio.
The Movement is one of a growing number of churches that are using new methods yet adhering to ancient beliefs to excite a new generation and interest people in attending church, and encountering Jesus.

Every 10 years or so there are new "movements". I know it's the name of the church, and it's spelling it out for you....we-are-the-latest-fad-that's-all. You can't see it because you don't want to. It's NOT new or special. I've seen more "movements" than you can shake a stick at. There are no new methods, and whatever methods they are using have nothing to do with church. "more alive" oh please. It's just marketing to this 10 year cycle of people looking for something. Nothing more. Yes it always changes, but that has to do with the people and whatever they happened to be into at the time the church is made. This will change too and when everything changes, and we know it based on humans whims, it's not really religious it same ol wrapped in different colors. It has to be, there is nothing new religion wise just human kindaculty wise.
Yes and I admire him a great deal. Abolitionist, revivalist, critical of Calvinism and I believe, a founder of Oberlin College. A progressive, in my estimation.
