At The Church at Cane Bay, we often say that Missional Communities are the lifeblood of our church. The gospel of Jesus is the core, or the heart, of our church, but the primary way that we carry out that good news corporately is through our Missional Community system. ! Our church has a mission statement - ! The Church at Cane Bay exists to see that every man, woman, and child inside of a ten mile radius of our church has multiple opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the gospel of Jesus.! ! That’s a pretty big mission. We know we can’t do it alone. We have to partner with other churches and believers to help us reach our community. ! In order to best serve our mission, we have organized groups of people called missional communities working inside different missions and contexts in our community to be an expression of the gospel with their words and deeds. ! Missional communities are the main thing that we do as a church. Yes, we gather to worship on Sundays. Yes, we have intentional discipleship environments called huddles. Both of those are vital and necessary, and combined with missional communities, allow us to be the body of Christ in our community. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "3 WHAT IS A MISSIONAL COMMUNITY?" Simply defined, the phrase ‘missional community’ defines itself - mission and community. ! If you want to give a little more clarity to the idea, it looks like this - ! A community of people organized to give every man, woman, and child within its circle of influence multiple opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the gospel.! ! MISSION Mission is the primary purpose of each community to ensure that people are loved towards the gospel of Jesus. At least once a month, our Missional Communities will be out in the harvest, serving and loving, with the goal of proclaiming the gospel and seeing people come into relationship with Christ. ! COMMUNITY" Strong community builds strong mission. People crave relationships that move beyond the superficial. Missional Communities provide great opportunity to build relationships around the gospel that grow as the mission is served. ! "4 WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?" Each Missional Community will gather weekly in homes or in the harvest, praying for and serving the mission decided by the group. They will share dinner together to build community, and study scripture to strengthen and embolden the mission. ! GATHER WEEKLY " We believe the best mission is ongoing mission. Because it’s so important, we want to make sure we are consistent in showing and sharing the love of Jesus. ! SHARE DINNER (60 Mins) " The best way to get to know someone is to share a meal with them. Since community is so important to fuel the mission, our groups share a meal and conversation around the table together each week. ! PRAYING FOR AND SERVING THE MISSION (40 Mins) " Each week our primary focus is praying for the mission and planning how to best serve people in it. We will plan opportunities outside of our weekly meetings to serve the mission. Mission is primary inside of an MC, so we make sure we work diligently here before we study scripture. ! STUDY SCRIPTURE (20 Mins) " Because the gospel is at the center of all we do, it’s important that we study scripture to provide purpose to our mission. Each week we study the passage that will be preached the following Sunday. ! ! ! ! ! "5 WHY MISSIONAL COMMUNITY?" ! It’s really simple actually. We are already a community of people (His church) sent on mission by Jesus. A missional community just !organizes it. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit”. John 20: 21 - 22! ! We are people who imitate Jesus. He was sent to proclaim the message of God’s Kingdom and offer a way through His death and resurrection for people to be a part of it. ! Now, we are sent by Jesus to declare that same message, while explaining that He is the way to be made right in relationship with God. ! Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28: 19 - 20! ! So we have a command and a promise. A command to make disciples and a promise that He will be with us through it. We gather as missional communities to obey that command and experience that promise. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "6 WHAT KIND OF MISSION?" ! Because there really are so many options out there that a group could do, we like to give a few guidelines to help our groups decide what kind of mission would be best for them to take on. ! LOCAL " We want to see each of our missional communities serving inside of our own circle of responsibility, which is a ten mile circle around our church. If we are taking seriously the belief that God has called us to them, then we want to focus our efforts here. ! PEOPLE" We could easily serve in any number of good things like adopting highways or working with animals, but we want to make sure that our mission provides us with consistent opportunities to interact with people to be an expression of the gospel in their lives. ! INFLUENCE" Concentrate on a specific area that has great need in our community that also impacts a large population group. We want to start with the biggest needs and the largest groups so we can have the greatest influence for the gospel. ! CONSISTENT" Find a mission that you can work on consistently, not just something that happens once a year. We want a consistent investment so that we can build real relationships. ! ! ! ! ! "7 WHERE COULD WE SERVE?" ! While the church as a whole is on mission together, our MCs will provide the majority of gospel outreach into the community. An MC is defined by its mission. When a new group is starting without a focus, you may need to decide together what your mission is using our earlier criteria. ! Here are a few good ideas:" ! SCHOOL" There are many schools located inside of our neighborhood and COA. Because they are gathering places and centers for our community, they are wonderful places to plug in. Even if we already have an MC there, another group could adopt a different part of the school (mentoring, grade levels, PTA, etc.). ! NEIGHBORHOOD" Your missional community can adopt a neighborhood or ‘block’ and serve that community consistently. ! INTEREST" If your group has a certain interest in common (music, sports, etc.), you can be involved in that activity in the community by coaching a sports team or volunteering for school athletics. ! CAUSES" If there is a need in our area that is not being met by any particular group, let’s take responsibility for that need (homelessness, trafficking, orphan care). ! ! ! ! ! "8 HOW CAN I BE MORE INVOLVED IN MY MC?" ! Each member of a missional community should have active involvement, service, and leadership in the group in some way. While these can rotate, here are some roles that will need to be filled: ! LEADER" This person is responsible for the week to week teaching and leading of the group. ! APPRENTICE" An apprentice has been identified as a future MC leader. Over time, they will take on more leadership and teaching in the group in an effort to train them for leading a group the following semester. ! PRAYER" Someone in the group should be responsible to lead prayer time, as well as making a list and communicating it to the group each week. ! HOST" If someone in your group has the gift of hospitality, give them opportunities to host your group. This could even rotate each week or month. ! MEALS/COMMUNICATION" This person coordinates meals and communicates through The City each week for your missional community. ! CHILDCARE" Someone will need to coordinate childcare for your group based on how your group decides to handle it. ! MISSION" As a leader, you need someone else to help you coordinate the details of your mission as your group serves. This is that person. ! "9 HOW IMPORTANT IS COMMUNITY IN MY MC?" ! In short, VERY! We want our groups to be able to experience true community that is as close to the early church in the book of Acts that we can get. ! Here are a few ways we work towards that goal:" ! SHARING A MEAL" Each one of our MCs share a meal together weekly. We know it makes meeting more difficult, but it also makes it better. There is no better way to get to know each other than over a meal. ! FAMILY" Our communities should strengthen the family.

  • Missional FAQ
    Missional FAQ What is the goal of a missional community? For parishes to become ‘sending churches’ that equip and send missionaries into the world to seek and serve Christ in all persons. In what ways are missional communities and sending churches different? They are parallel ecclesiastical structures. The focus of the sending church is to feed the Body of Christ. The focus of the missional community is to feed the world. For more, see the chart on p. 123 in Small Batch. How are sending churches and missional communities related? Missional communities remind our sending churches of our apostolic identity. Sending churches remind our missional communities of our deep rootedness in traditions that were instituted by Christ himself. Will forming missional communities be a break from our Episcopal tradition? No. Forming these communities honors our tradition, which values equipping missionaries to serve the world in Jesus’ name. The beginning of the Anglican tradition involved translating worship into language that all people would understand. In making the content accessible and digestible, the liturgy embodied it’s original intent more fully than ever before. The “work of the people” takes on the four-fold rhythm of blessing, breaking, giving, and taking. The final element, taking the good news out into the world, grounds us in the ministry of Jesus and the purpose of gathering as the church: to share the mission of God with the world. This rhythm still permeates not only our principal Eucharistic services, but the pattern of life for those who worship. Whom should we send? Those who feel called to go, and have a genuine interest in being present with those in the identified mission field.

  • Missional Community Guide 160821
    Missional Community Guide “Get Real” New Day Church Andy Duer August 21, 2016 3 John 1-15 Use this guide as a tool to help you prepare to experience spiritual transformation in a practical way. It is a flexible guide that will help you discover, own, and apply the truths of God’s Word. Message Summary As leadership was forming in the early churches they struggled with character and relationships in ways very similar to what we deal with today. As Christians were learning what in meant to follow Jesus some were encouraging them while others were tempting them to live lives of compromise. The issue John deals with in this short letter is not one of false teaching as much as a failure of some to live out what they know to be the truth. John writes to Gaius, a believer that is living out a faithful testimony in his community. He was supporting missionaries and Christian workers in a way that sets a strong example for us today. This testimony of faithfulness was being spread among the believers and even back to John. Gaius was sharing in the mission of these workers as a partner by helping them, but he was about to come into conflict with another Christian brother who did not support his actions. Diotrephes was a leader in the church who liked to put himself first. This stands in contrast to how Gaius was living, and Diotrephes had a history of removing from the fellowship those who opposed his leadership. John writes a laundry list of evidence revealing Diotrephes' character that is embarrassing for us to even read, but also describes believers we have known and shamefully have been.

  • MISSIONAL COMMUNITY Jesus Frames His Ministry Around Two Words: FOLLOW & GO
    CORE VALUE: MISSIONAL COMMUNITY Jesus frames His ministry around two words: FOLLOW & GO. Everything starts with follow & ends with go. • Matthew 4:19 - Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” • Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples….” Genesis 12:1-4 “Now the LORD had said to Abram: ‘Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy- five years old when he departed from Haran.” What is a “missional community”? Missional • They are committed to regular, passionate prayer for people. • They are serving the people group in tangible ways. • They are committed to intentionally living among unbelievers and inviting them into the group. • They are committed to having spiritual conversations that lead to sharing the Gospel of Jesus and the Word of God with people. Community • They are committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus and the Word of God with one another. • They are committed to regular, passionate prayer for one another. • They are committed to intentionally sharing life with one another. • They serve one another in bearing burdens.

  • Why and How Our Missional Discipleship Training Prepared Us to Respond to COVID-19
    Why and How Our Missional Discipleship Training Prepared Us to Respond to COVID-19 Chris Norman SPRING 2020 • GRACEGATHERING.COM attended one of the largest church conferences in North America at the beginning of March this year in Orlando, Florida just as we were all starting to hear about the impact Iof the coronavirus. As I sat in this 5,000 seat auditorium for three days, with standing room only of pastors, missionaries, and world class leaders of virtually every church tribe and denomination, I heard the same theme repeatedly: the church has been too heavily influenced by the consumer mentality of society and is measuring success based on numbers, and we need to get back to the roots of the multipliable discipleship Jesus modeled. The church-growth model is rather simple: you acquire or develop excellent leaders, who deliver an excellent product (Sunday services, church programs, personal care), and the result is you attract more people who want to consume those products/services. The better the product, the more customers you acquire, and if success is based on numbers, this is the way to be successful and grow a church. It boils down to how well the leaders can deliver. Jesus is not counting how many people are attending our churches, however, but how many people are coming to faith and being discipled, and how many homes, neighborhoods, subcultures, and cities are being transformed by the gospel. And pointedly, how disciples of Jesus and churches can multiply this ethos among everyday people. In other words, Jesus isn’t looking for superstar pastors who are gifted enough to draw big crowds but everyday people who can lead a few and see this exponentially multiply.

  • Below Are 12 Lessons on “Missional Church” Principles
    Below are 12 lessons on “missional church” principles. These are available for public use, with no copying restrictions. They are intended for the edification of the Church in our world today. May God bless you as you work through these concepts. Treasure in Clay Jars Lesson One: Biblical/Theological Principles Outcome Objectives: 1. Learners will become familiar with the theological foundations of the mission of God (missio Dei) and reign of God as it is revealed in the Bible 2. Learners will explore how their view of church (ecclesiology) ought to be based on these foundations. 3. Learners will explore what these biblical foundations mean for evangelism and interaction with culture. Introduction: 1. Teacher will emphasize the importance of understanding that mission begins with God. Notice examples from Scripture that involve God’s initiative to work salvation: a. Genesis 12:1-9 – God takes the initiative to work salvation by calling Abraham and sending him to Canaan. Notice the theme of calling and sending. This will be typical of the Biblical examples of God’s missional initiative. b. Exodus 3:7-12 – God calls Moses and sends him in mission to Egypt. Notice how other nations (Canaan, Egypt) and not just Israel are the focus of God’s mission. The mission of God has implications for all people. c. Luke 10 – The disciples are gathered up and involved in God’s mission. Notice that mission begins by bidding God to sent out harvesters. Notice that more occurs in the mission of the 70 than what Jesus commissions them to do (v.

  • Missional Church
    MISSIONAL CHURCH COMPARISONS AND REFLECTIONS ON THE 3DM AND MISSIONAL NETWORK MODELS JULY 1, 2015 KEVYN J. HARRIS Index Page Subject 2 Summary 4 Introduction 6 Observations 18 Discussion 26 Conclusion 1 Page 1 Summary A church seeking to be missional in its relationship to the social, religious, economic, and political environment will persistently pursue a culture of innovation. Its ability to do this will be dictated by the capacity of its leadership. The missional capacity of a church is directly related to its capacity for innovation. Does it expect and welcome creativity? Does it understand its identity and raison d’etre clearly and is it always seeking new ways to express these? If not, the church will be repeating practices, the reason for which no one can remember. However, by developing awareness and understanding of what it is doing and re-visiting its identity and purpose as a Christian Community, it will be better situated to allow new expressions. These, in turn, are more likely to speak powerfully to its own members and those outside its collective. This innovative capacity is contingent on the traceable experience of growth in leadership at every level. Therefore a missional church places great emphasis on the development of competencies in its leaders. These competencies include what might be termed “professional” as a subset. They are a part but not the greater part. Instead, an innovative culture calls for a leadership which is actively growing in character. The competencies needed are what might be called “personal” strengths more so than “professional”. Discipleship is intrinsically linked with missional when we acknowledge that discipleship in the Christian understanding is understood more as “growing to be more like Jesus”.

  • Communion in Missional Communities
    Communion in Missional Communities As congregations and members of the congregations of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas establish missional communities they are to make provision for those communities to engage in regular worship, using forms from the Book of Common Prayer. That worship is to include provision for the Holy Eucharist led from time to time by a duly ordained and licensed priest. Permission may be sought to supplement those celebrations of the Holy Eucharist with Communion from the reserved sacrament. The sacrament will be reserved from a Celebration of Holy Eucharist at the sending congregation, or from a regular celebration of the Holy Eucharist led by a duly ordained and licensed priest for the missional community itself. Those leading Communion from the reserved sacrament for missional communities will be specially licensed Eucharistic Visitors (Missional Community Eucharistic Visitors), who have been trained, vetted and licensed according to the practices of the Diocese, with additional training in the Book of Common Prayer, liturgical planning, preaching, and the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Texas. When the missional community work is under the guidance of a priest who crafts or approves the form of the liturgy, the requirement for the additional training may be waived. Vetting and training will include Safeguarding God’s Children, Safeguarding God’s People, and background and reference checks. In some cases, the MCEVs will be students preparing for ordination through programs at Iona School for Ministry or an accredited seminary. They will serve under the supervision of the Rector of a sending congregation, and the Bishop of Texas.

  • Launching Your Own Missional Community
    LAUNCHING YOUR OWN MISSIONAL COMMUNITY You are here because you are passionate about leading a Missional Community: a group of 15-40 people who live out the mission of God together to a specific area or to a particular people group by demonstrating the gospel in tangible forms. Here is the pathway to take to launch your own Missional Community. The MC Pathway includes three phases: PRELIMINARY PHASE PREPERATION PHASE LAUNCH PHASE PRELIMINARY PHASE Here are a few questions you need to ask yourself before you jump into leading a Missional Community. 1. Who has God called you to serve? A Missional Community is the church on mission to a specific people group. Your MC will only be successful if you are called to serve a specific group of people. If you don’t have one, pray that God will reveal one to you! 2. Do I have the time and commitment necessary to lead a Missional Community in my present stage of life? Leading an MC takes a lot of work! An MC requires both time and commitment from you in order to be successful. People will be under your care as they seek to serve God on mission! Although it's exciting, it also carries with it a real responsibility. 3. Is my life worth following? You may be thinking, “That’s a difficult question!” You’re right! It is! You will be discipling people through mission. They will be looking to you to help lead the group forward. Are you worth following? 4. Do I have the ability to lead a Missional Community? You do not need to be perfect to lead a Missional Community, but you do need to be competent in a few areas! Are you able to cast a vision for a group of people? Can you create momentum in a group of people? Do you have the ability to lead Bible studies and group discussions? Do you have the capacity to pull out the best of others? It is important that you are capable (but not perfect) in these types of areas.
