<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two leading voices in the missional church movement provide an accessible introduction to how the movement has developed, why it's important, and how churches can become more missional.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Many pastors and church leaders have heard the term "missional" but have only a vague idea of what it means, let alone why it might be important to them. But what does it actually mean? What does a missional church look like and how does it function? Two leading voices in the missional movement here provide an accessible introduction, showing readers how the movement developed, why it's important, and how churches can become more missional. <br/><br/><i>Introducing the Missional Church</i> demonstrates that ours is a post-Christian culture, making it necessary for church leaders to think like missionaries right here at home. Focusing on a process that allows a church to discern its unique way of being missional, it guides readers on a journey that will lead them to implement a new set of missional practices in their churches. The authors demonstrate that living missionally is about discerning and joining God's work in the world in order to be a witness to God's kingdom on earth.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>An Accessible Introduction to the Missional Church Movement</b><br/><br/>Ours is a post-Christian culture, making it necessary for church leaders to think like missionaries right here at home.
