The Missional Church
The word missional can carry several connotations to different people. In our day and age, missional can seem like just another buzz word, or maybe even a “style” of church. Being missional, however, is the very nature of a Biblical church: to present the unchanging Gospel in an ever-changing culture.
Dr. Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York, is one of the present-day forerunners of church planting and the missional church movement. Please take a few minutes to read his article entitled The Missional Church (External PDF Link.) Keller does an exceptional job of unpacking the distinctives of the missional church. In reading, may you be encouraged by the qualities that we are to exhibit at stewards of the Gospel in Augusta.
