James Nored -- Missional Church: Developing an Outreach Strategy for Your Church

This session will examine the biblical and theological basis for becoming a church that is fundamentally oriented around mission (a missional church), as well as the particular need today for becoming this type of church. From this examination, this session will propose a missional outreach strategy that can be developed in one’s particular cultural context and that, with God’s blessing, can be effective in seeking the lost, blessing one’s community, and proclaiming Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. Finally, the session will explore the role that shepherds and ministers must play to support one another and work together in this development.
