Pentecost: The First Missional Church Movement
The word “missional” is a big buzz word in church circles right now. Church leadership authors are saying that there is a movement afoot, a movement that churches are becoming missional.
These authors define missional as BEING the hands and feet of Jesus in the world. Missional is a way of living, not an affiliation or activity. To think and to live missionally means seeing all life as a way to be engaged with the mission of God in the world. It is not church-as-usual. It is being said of the rise of the missional church that it is the single biggest development in Christianity since the Reformation.
We might want to pay attention to this. A church that is missional takes on its supernatural role of being in on the action of God.
How does what is being described above make you feel? (excited? scared? skeptical? resistant? angry? inspired? wishful? hopeful?...)
Where would you rank Signal Crest on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all, and 5 being we are a 100% missional church?
