Missiology Pt 1

Definition of the Missional Church
The mission of the church is to be found in the mission of God. God calls the church to enthusiastically participate in God's mission in the world a world that has radically changed in North American in the last 50 years.
To engage today's world with the good news requires the formation of a disciple community - the church of Jesus Christ - to be a visible representation, witness and instrument of the sovereign rule of God in every aspect of our lives. A missional church responds to the changes in culture, the leadings of the Spirit, and the needs of the world as it attempts to follow Christ's mission.
