"What Does it Mean to be a Missional Church?” - Changing the Scorecard for the Church Reggie McNeal has defined the missional movement among churches that want to become more oriented toward the culture and community around them. Join us for several in-depth conversations with McNeal about our spiritual purpose and missional vitality.  Together we will embrace the missional model and wrestle with these tough questions:

Can you move from an internal to an external focus? Are you willing to develop the spiritual life of people?    Will you engage with leadership from the community?
