The above video is a snapshot into the life of a Missional Community. Below you will find a Q & A about Missional Communities at our church, and a short more simple explanation of MC's. If you would like more information please fell free to contact me!
What are
Missional Communities?
A smaller groups of Grace Baptist Church from six
to twenty people who are united, through Christian Community around a common
service and witness to a particular neighborhood and/or a network of
relationship. With a strong value on
life together, the group has the expressed intention of seeing those the group
impacts choose to start following Jesus, through this more flexible and locally
incarnated expression of Grace Baptist church.
The results often are that the group grows and ultimately multiplies
into further Missional Communities. They
are networked within Grace Baptist Church.
These mid-sized communities are “lightweight and low maintenance.” These groups gather formally and informally
numerous times a month in the group’s missional context.
What is the
Goal?
The end goal of the groups is christian growth and multiplication for
the kingdom of God. So these uniquely
flavored mid-sized groups are designed with missions/disciple making as their
target!
When and
Where?
The groups will gather formally and informally as
best accommodates the needs of the community and the leader of the group. A list of active Missional Communities will
be avaible for the church to pray over, plug in new members, and assist as
needed.
Who Can
Come?
Anyone.
With the exception of those who fall under 1 Corinthians 5:11.
