The CaSTLE Project Lexicon offers a shared language for leaders, congregations, and partners engaging Country and Small Town Lived Ecclesiology. Because the CaSTLE Project invites a paradigm shift in how we understand and practice church, clarity of terms matters. This document gathers key theological, ecclesial, and contextual definitions that shape our work together, from baptismal ecclesiology and lived vocation to the distinctive realities of small town and rural ministry. Whether you are new to CaSTLE or deeply involved in its initiatives, this lexicon serves as a grounding resource to help align our understanding, sharpen our conversations, and deepen our shared commitment to equipping the Christian people for ministry in daily life.
