Here's one of my favorite links from the weblink above http://www.missionalchurch.org/pages/faq.pdf
If you've ever asked these questions, you'll want to check it out.
- What is the difference between a missional church and a church with a mission program?
- What’s so new about the missional church? Aren’t we already missional?
- Is “missional” a real word?
- Does being a missional church mean starting a lot of new activities? People in our congregation are already so busy.
- Is this a technique to help our congregation grow?
- Does being a missional church mean that evangelism is more important than Christian education?
- What connection does the missional church concept have with the unique situation churches are facing in North America?
- Can the church simultaneously be both nonconformed to the world and engaged in witness to Jesus Christ in the world? Isn’t that risky?
- Where do we start to learn more about the missional church concept?
