Missional Church??

What is a Missional Church? What does she look like in America?

If the Great Co-Mission (God and you and me) is the reason we are here, the reason Jesus came and died and rose again, how does the fulfillment of that come into play?

Is the Missional Church a movement of God or man? Is it programmed based -like we create a ministry for our people to be involved in, if they want to?

Can missional happen if we (believers) do not go out of passion and gifting and Holy Spirit leadership into the world?

I keep hearing, we are a Missional Church, our church does this and that and this in the world. Is it our church joining a project determined by some leader in the church or is it my thing I get to do everyday with God's leading?

What does a Missional Church look like and if (the present models) don't represent your Scriptural understanding of Missional - how should it look?

Perhaps you can find something in this post to respond to.

Your question hits to the heart of what we are all looking for.

What does a missional church look like?

In my experience, missional is the new buzzword -- and not much else.

Mike -What would a Biblical Co-Missional (God and Us) Church look like? Look at Matthew 28.

I'm interested in your opinion.

A Missional Church is more than just a new name for an evangelistic church. I believe that a Missional Church will actively be discovering what it means to be sent by Jesus with the gospel in community with other Christians to their culture!
