Doug Pagitt

Doug Pagitt (born July 5, 1966) is a progressive evangelical pastor and author associated with the emerging church movement.[1][2]

Ministry

Pagitt is the founding pastor of Solomon's Porch in South Minneapolis and the executive director of Vote Common Good.[3]

During weekly "gatherings" of Solomon's Porch, instead of giving traditional sermons, Pagitt facilitates dialogical talks, encouraging questions and participation from the congregation.[4]

Pagitt founded Emergent Village in 1999, a generative friendship of missional church leaders around the world and is a leading architect of the emergent church discussion. He sees the emergent movement not as one organization but as an "incubation center" that has influenced hundreds of organizations by inspiring new ways of thinking of the Christian faith.[5] In recent years, he has come to advocate for a what is termed a "Generous Christianity" through his involvement with Cana Initiative/Convergence.[6]

In 2010, Pagitt launched the Doug Pagitt Radio Program on AM950 to discuss theology and culture.[7]

Pagitt's recent endeavor, Greater Things, encompasses his unwavering passion to share the good news of a more just, generous and inclusive Christianity among those seeking to follow God in the way of Jesus.

In 2018, Pagitt founded Vote Common Good, a nonprofit political organization working with progressive, religiously-motivated voters.[8][9][10] He currently serves as the group's Executive Director.[11]
