Terribly Poetic

I read a really good blog about the church shifting from the attractional model towards the missional model. This makes so much sense to me. I feel that the article displays so well what I am thinking and where my philosophy of ministry and church is right now. So instead of writing more, I will post a short part of the article and a link to the rest.



The End of the “Attractional” Church

The missional model essentially turns the attractional model on its head. Instead of being concerned about bricks and mortar. Rather than an “if we build it, they will come” mentality, the missional model asks, “how can we be the incarnational presence of Christ in our community with no strings attached?” And while it might be argued that these two models are not mutually exclusive, they will be until they can learn to co-exist comfortably together.
