“A church
is the only organization that exists primarily for the benefit of
non-members”
William Temple
Where we are today:
The missionary
impulse of the Church has been focused on those being sent “to the
ends of the earth,” and has overlooked the focus in our own
“Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.” The result has produced culturally
distant and irrelevant churches living in parallel universes from
each other and their own “Jerusalem and Judea.”
A Missional Church:
 Realizes
she is a living, inter-dependent part of the
missionary impulse of the Body, seeking to touch, and be in touch,
with her community: engaging local culture, and taking Christ
into it.
She is an agent for transformation in her sphere
of influence. She seeks to release the gifts of her members for the
building up of the Kingdom of God – on Earth as it is in Heaven. She
doesn’t care who gets the credit, as long as the Lord gets the glory
and praise!
 The
Missional Church Network:
Missional
congregations unite for the harvest, so that it can be said on the
street:
“the Church is the best thing that ever happened to this city.”
To
reach that goal, we want to be united in three primary areas:
PRAYER, PEOPLE & PROJECTS.
