MISSIONAL LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES
What is Missional?
The missional movement is a robust conversation spawning scores of books and dominating the blogosphere among church leaders in the last couple of decades. For those engaged in the conversation, “missional” is a pregnant term. Yet since it views Christian leadership and Christian ministry so differently from conventional understandings, others may need an introduction. The ministry resources on LifeandLeadership.com include a collection of articles, Missional Perspectives (see below) that may help.
