Let your kingdom come in me,
and through me to others. Amen

What is MISSIONAL?
The idea of a Missional Church is not a new one. The first-century Church was missional - sent by Jesus to "be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). The rest of the Book of Acts charts the spreading fire of the Gospel and the work of God's Missional Church.
About a decade ago the spark was relit to concentrate on a more missional approach to congregational ministry. The fire of the movement has spread to and through nearly every denomination.
The Missional Church demands movement:
From: Maintenance
Membership
Pastor-Centered
Chaplaincy (Self)
Focus on Ourselves
Settled
To: Mission
Discipleship
Lay-Empowered
Hospitality (Others)
Focus on the World
Sent
That last word, SENT, is central to the Missional Church. These congregations have abandoned the idea of attracting the outside community into the church building. Instead, they are sending the church out into the community in the person of every individual member. YOU are the church, bearing the Gospel of Jesus and the servanthood of Christ in everything you do...every place you go. So, GO, live the Gospel life!
