Underground Network

"You can make an argument that biblical hospitality isn't complete unless it includes welcome toward the stranger." - Tomy Wilkerson #microchurchconference2026 #microcon2026

“We don’t want to do hospitality because deep down we know it works… If you do it they will respond and you will have to get in the weeds with them.” - Hugh Halter #microchurchconference2026 #microcon2026

“I think microchurch communities have a unique gift to notice where the awakening is happening and where God is showing up.” - Joel Repic #MicrochurchConference2026

The Underground Network is entering a new chapter! We’re seeking a visionary, mission-driven leader — someone who embodies our values, brings catalytic energy, and leads with humility, strategy, and spiritual depth. Learn more and submit your resume at tampaunderground.com/careers

We want to burn for Jesus, and be a people who keep one another's flames burning as a missionary family. Join us this Core Sunday at 10am at the HUB - We can't wait to see you there. #WeAreUnderground #CoreSunday

We will NOT be gathering this Sunday, Dec 29th for our weekly gathering. We pray you have a joyful and restful holiday season, and we will reconvene as a network in the new year on January 5th. Hope to see you then!

Our next UG Update is a small shift within our leadership team, to better serve and expand in the ways Jesus is leading us to. We’re looking forward to seeing how this small shift will allow for greater Kingdom impact in the years ahead. #UGupdate #WeAreUnderground

If you consider yourself a part of the Underground, come be a part of this important Sunday gathering on January 12 as we start off the new year well by listening for a word from the Lord and worshipping alongside missionary peers in Tampa Bay. #Microchurches #TampaChurch

Have you ever wondered about what microchurches look like in some of the darkest places in our communities, or how they get started? To listen to this episode and others from our Calling Embodied series, tune in now at microchurchespodcast.com. #Microchurches #Podcast

The first of our Underground updates is one that you've probably seen - we have a bit of a new look! Hear from Sheri about our hope for this rebrand, and how we aimed to capture the most important parts of the Underground that we know and love 🫶

In preparing our hearts for the year ahead, we will spend 36-hours in prayer at the HUB from January 10-12, and wrap up the weekend at our Core Sunday. Save the date & book a 2-hour prayer room slot: calendly.com/ugnetwork/pray… #PrayerRoom #2025 #WeAreUnderground #PrayTampaBay

For years, we've focused on serving local microchurches, staying true to our roots. Recently, we've felt led to expand by collaborating with churches and ministries beyond Tampa to empower more people and spread the impact of microchurches. youtu.be/uTj3qp_v7R8 #UGUpdate!

“The reason why God wants us to become more deeply connected to him is not because he wants us to hear more clearly the marching orders it’s because he is singing us a love song” - Tracy Matthews

“God has equipped us for the work he wants us to do… you are exactly who God wants to use” - Lisa Rodriguez- Watson #microcon2024

Groundwork is continuing in 2024, with some new topics for movement and microchurch leadership in our current context led by Brian Sanders. We will be holding these Groundwork 201 classes every 3rd Sunday of the month at 10am at the HUB, starting this Sunday the 21st!

Core Sundays are key mornings for our network where we gather together to reflect, get insight into what God might be inviting us into, and commit ourselves to His purposes for 2024. If you consider yourself part of the Underground, mark your calendars and plan to join us!

Last chance to register for the retreat this Sunday! Don't miss this time away to sit at the feet of Jesus and get excited for what He's inviting us into in 2024. Register before Friday! tampaunderground.com/ugretreat

The Lord expanded our Kingdom reach this past year of the heroic missionaries we are able to serve. We praise God for His faithfulness to us and to our family of missionaries this year, and we look ahead with hope for what He is inviting us into in 2024. #weareunderground
