It's important to explore a bit further and find out the reasons. Some ministers are put off by the term or what they see is the latest fad in the church. Has your minister really engaged with the deep biblical and theological roots to fresh expressions of church?
You could pray for your minister, gently encourage them to watch one of our DVDs (below) and discuss it with you. If they need to engage at a deeper level, encourage them to read a robust theological argument for fresh expressions.

Some ministers are hesitant about fresh expressions of church because they don't feel equipped for this kind of ministry themselves. Seeing where their own ministry fits into the mixed economy church will be important. Taking part in mission shaped ministry can be a real help here.
