What
is Missional?
Being missional means that the church sees itself as being
missionaries, rather than having a missions department, and
that we see ourselves as missionaries right where we live.
Being
missional means we see the church not as a place to go only
on Sunday, but as somthing we are throughout the week.
Being
missional means that we understand we don't bring Jesus to
people but we realize Jesus is active in culture and we join
him in what he is doing.
Being
missional means we are very much in the world and engaged
in culture but are not conforming to the world.
Being
missional means being all the more dependent on Jesus and
the Spirit through prayer, the Scriptures, and each other
in community.
