Forum 4: What is a Missional Church?

Words: 396
Pages: 2
Subject: Uncategorized

Topic: Based on your Week 4 study and your experience, construct a lead post that discusses the importance of discipleship for the church. Select any of the following questions to construct your post:

Alan Hirsch tells us that the issue of the Missional church is not a matter for the doctrine of the church (Ecclesiology) but rather the doctrine of God. In that context the question is not whether the church has a mission but whether God’s mission has a church. How does this idea apply in your own church experience?
Explain the meaning of a “Missional church” based upon your reading and course materials.
What do you think of the critique of the attractional church model? Are those critiques valid?
For groups like that led by Francis Chan, the House Church model is their choice to meet the challenges of their critique of attractional churches. Is that the only way to meet that critique or could there be ways to strengthen the more traditional model of church to meet challenges presented by post-modern culture, the need for stronger relationships, and activating each member to exercise their gifts and discipleship?
