Understanding the Missional Church • EFCA Today

Where did the term originate, and why does it matter?
 click on the above link for an interesting read from our denomination's website

"The term missional church has become a buzzword 
in Christian circles—meaning different things to different people. 
When some hear the term they roll their eyes and think, Yet another church-growth fad
For others, their heart beats a bit faster, envisioning a church 
that is more evangelistic or more holistic or more involved in the 
community or more outward-focused."

...
"
The missional impact of the church must also go
beyond evangelism alone to intentional kingdom
influence in the larger community,
 reflecting the justice and compassion of God."
