As I continue to study the missional church I find myself believing that this is what “church” is meant to be. At the core, being missional is understanding and believing that you are “sent.” (See John 20:21). Yet, I find most of the time my tradition focuses on making disciples (Matt 28:19-20) while overlooking the command to “go.” If Jesus tells us to “go” then that also means that we are “sent.”

The question I’m still working out is how can you move from a framework which believes that the church is a place where people “come” to a framework which believes that a church is a people who “go”?

Still on the journey…..
