One of the best things about a compass is that no matter how far you have wandered from the path, no matter how long it has been since you checked it last, no matter what unforeseeable obstacles have caused you to detour, whenever you go back to your compass, it still points the way home. Of course, the best way to stay on track is to keep your compass handy, not to admire the compass itself, but because the compass points you to the way.
On this journey of faith, it’s easy to get turned around, confused, off track. It’s easy to get lost in the wilderness. But God doesn’t leave us on our own. God’s Word acts as a compass—no matter how far you have wandered, the Word can point you home. And the best way to keep on the path is to keep that compass handy, to begin a love affair with the Word of God. You see, the Word doesn’t just point you to the Way, the Word delivers the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus promises to be present for us inHis Word; our discipleship journey is shaped by Intentional Interaction with God’s Word. Come learn what that looks like in your every day life!

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!
