Post-congregational narrative is a term used by some who describe themselves as followers of Christ (Christians) to refer to the experience of intentionally pursuing their faith outside the traditional congregational setting.
Likewise, "congregational narrative" had become a term that many of these people had used to describe traditional church life in their assertions that it wasn't necessarily the only way to follow Christ.
Cyprian of Carthage's well known phrase Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus and the thought "he cannot have God for his father who has not the church for his mother" both combine to make the same point.
"[1] There is some overlap between people identifying with the post-congregational narrative and other movements, especially the emerging church and what gets loosely referred to as "post-modern" Christianity.
Some shared areas of concern between these two groups are spiritual transformation, community, social justice and the environment.
