Missional Communities 

The church is not sent on a mission by God, rather God is on a mission, and the church is called to join Him. The mission is not the church’s, it’s the ‘Missio Dei’ or ‘Mission of God’ that we are called to be part of. From Genesis to Revelation God is seen clearly on a pursuit to redeem mankind from the shackles of sin and death. The pursuit of this mission takes us beyond the walls of our church buildings and out into the places where people live and work.

A missional community is a spiritual family (community) with the Spirit of Christ in their midst, called out to join Him on His mission to the ends of the earth. The origins of this is found in Acts chapter 2 and in this series we will be learning and applying how the early church took seriously the words of Jesus when he instructed them to “Go and make disciples of all nations”(see Matthew 28 18-20) as they developed missional communities.
