Missional Communities

The mission of God is to restore all things to himself in and through the work and person of Jesus Christ. His chosen vehicle through which he is accomplishing that mission is the church. The church is the family of God called together to him and sent out on his mission. Missional Communities are the primary means through which the WELL mobilizes people together on mission and connects people to a caring community.

WHAT IS A MISSIONAL COMMUNITY?

A Missional Community consists of a committed core of believers who live out the mission of God together in a specific area or to a particular people group by demonstrating the gospel in tangible forms and declaring the gospel to others—both those who believe it and those who are being exposed to it. To clarify, a Missional Community is NOT primarily a small group, Bible study, support group, social activist group, or weekly meeting.

Our hope at the WELL is that every person who is committed to the mission of the church will be fully involved in a missional community and that these missional communities will multiply spreading the gospel throughout the CSRA.

Consider this… The life of the church as recorded in Acts 2:42-47 came as a result of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into the lives of a people collectively committed to the mission of God. The description we read about in Acts was not the means of becoming a great church, but the results of God working through a people committed to him and his mission.

We believe God is still more committed to his mission being accomplished then us having our preferred church experience. Missional Communities exist to partner with God to further his mission in every part of the CSRA.

EACH MISSIONAL COMMUNITY WILL:

  1. Be led by a team committed to leading, shepherding, equipping and organizing a community on mission
  2. Grow together in understanding and application of the Gospel to who we are because of God’s work in and through Jesus
  3. Live out the weekly Rhythms of a family on mission together (Listen, Celebrate, Eat, Bless and do life together) – BE the church together throughout the week
  4. Identify, equip and release new leadership to begin new Missional Communities

PATHWAYS INTO A MISSIONAL COMMUNITY:

  1. Fill out an info card (note that you’re interested in MCs), and a leader will get in touch.
  2. Talk to a MC leader (A good place to start is the WELL Connections Table on Sunday).
  3. Go with a friend and check out their MC.
  4. Check out the MC map (website, the city, & our Sunday morning gatherings) to find one near you, and contact a leader.

Keep in mind that one of the main criteria for choosing a missional community is simply where you live. We want you to join with those in your neighborhood in being the church. Please call or email for details on when the MC gets together, how they serve the neighborhood, etc. If you have any other questions please email email hidden; JavaScript is required.
