As God's missionary people the local church itself is sent. As the quotes from the articles in the following pages indicate, there is much more to be said. A missional church must be among others things a praying church. The missional church must understand that it is comprised of God's missionary people and that God is a missionary God. The description of a missional church must come from those engaged in God's mission.
Missional churches come in all sizes from the smallest to the largest.
They can be found in the small towns, suburbs and inner-city ghettos. They speak many languages and communicate the Gospel through a variety of cultures. They worship at various times of the week. There are as many sounds of worship music as there are styles of preaching in missional churches. Missional churches everywhere have these things in common.
