An Overview of Missional Communities

A missional community is a community of Christians, on mission with God in obedience to the Holy Spirit, who demonstrate tangibly and declare creatively the gospel of Jesus Christ to a pocket of people.

Last fall, my friend Jon Dansby and I wrote a few short articles to recast some vision to our church about missional communities.  They’re a helpful overview of some basic convictions and practices of missional communities at The Austin Stone.
