UNDERGROUND NETWORK

The Underground is an experimental community pursuing change in the church and mission in the world. We are a place for innovative ideas, deep leadership community, and fearless pursuit of Jesus and his cause. We exist to inspire, engage, connect and empower missional people, churches and networks. Our name is a tribute to the underground church of history, characterized by sacrificial faith in the face of danger, oppression, and even death. We honor that memory and hope to represent that church in our city and around the world. Our network is currently home to over 200 microchurches (small missional communities) in the Tampa Bay area and 11 city-wide sister movements across the world. We believe firmly that people make up the church, not buildings or budgets, or even leaders. When believers work together in sincere worship and genuine community to accomplish a part of the mission of God, they are the church.
