Missional Communities
Follow Jesus, make deep friendships, and bring good news to one another and our city.
What is a missional community?
Our church is made up of diverse missional communities who are unique in their expression of the kingdom of God, but unified in intention to declare and demonstrate the good news of Jesus. Much of the life of our church is lived out in these Missional Communities (MC’s) who are being formed in by God together for the sake of their city and the neighbors who live here. Each community is unique but all are learning how to be with Jesus, to become like Jesus and to do what Jesus did.
Life-on-life
Being together in the everyday allows for visibility and accessibility. We see each other’s lives in the everyday stuff so that people know what it looks like to follow Jesus in all of life. With familiarity and accountability, we are able to authentically assess and encourage growth in discipleship.
Life-in-community
One on one discipleship will lead to a disciple looking like the one who discipled them. Community discipleship will lead to disciples looking more like Jesus as he works through the diverse people and gifts in his body. Community is also the context in which we care for each other as a good family and live out the one-another passages of Scripture (e.g. bear one another’s burdens, pray for one another, submit to one another, etc.)
Life-on-Mission
Every missional community identifies a group of people God is sending them to love, serve, and share Jesus with. It could be a neighborhood or network of relationships. Some choose to love and serve local schools, while others will identify people they already are in regular relationship with. We want to see every place where we live, work, learn and play blessed by God’s people on God’s mission
family
God, the perfect Father, has adopted us as His children. Rather than a random collection of individuals, we live in committed relationships as brothers and sisters. We arrange our lives to maximize the opportunity to be a part of each others’ lives. We gather regularly to eat, celebrate, and share life.
servant
Jesus not only rules supremely over all the earth, but he intentionally disadvantaged himself for the sake of others. Because Jesus was willing to serve us to the point of death, we are committed to serving each other and our cities. We humbly and sacrificially serve by blessing people in word, deed and gifts.
missionary
Jesus sent His Spirit to enable His Church to be a conduit of blessing to the world. We actively engage and bless our communities with the good news that our world belongs to God.
