from the latest Missional Outreach Seminar, at the Buckingham Rd. Church of Christ!
You may have heard the term “missional” thrown around and wondered what it means. Or you may be very familiar with the concept, but need help bringing about missional transformation; If so, I would love to help.
The word “missio” means “sent,” and so the missional church concept is that of a church which has been sent out into the world. In other words, mission is not one among many things that the church does; the church is missional.
The missional nature of the church is based upon the sending action and mission of God. Jesus said to his disciples, “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you” (Jn. 20:21). As the sent out body of Christ, we seek to fulfill Christ’s stated mission to the world--to seek and save the lost (Lk. 19:10), serve and give our lives for others (Mk. 10:45), and proclaim the good news of Jesus and the kingdom of God (Mk. 1:15, 38).
I have been blessed to study with some of the top missional leaders in the world, including Alan Hirsch, author of The Shaping of Things to Come and The Forgotten Ways, and Reggie McNeal, author of The Present-Future. I hope to pass on these insights as well as real world experience in missional work in a local church.
