What is a Missional Church?


The Elements of a Missional Church
5 awesome characteristics of churches committed to the mission of God as outlined by Tim Keller.

  1. Discourse in the vernacular

  2. Enter and re-tell the culture’s stories with the gospel

  3. Theologically train lay people for public life and vocation

  4. Create Christian community which is counter-cultural and counter-intuitive

  5. Practice Christian unity as much as possible on the local level


My prayer is that I will intentionally plant missional churches - points of light in a dark world.

Funny! I never really thought of myself that way, but lots of those pictures are true of me. Maybe I'm...nah!
