From attractional to Missional Church

The attractional church is explained as a model of ministry that focuses inwardly rather than outwardly. The inward focus can distract the church to the degree that the broader mission of God in the world is neglected. In contrast to the attractional mode, the missional church takes seriously the call to "go"and make disciples, outside of the confines of the church building. Mission is not only another program but the very DNA of why the church exists. Instead of the resources flowing primarily inward, the resources flow outward. The missional model promotes the idea that the church is not to be self-serving but is tasked with participating in the broader mission of God in the public sphere.
