Missional Communities


And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

(Matthew 28:19-20, ESV)

At the end of his time on earth Jesus gives his disciples the main mission the rest of their lives are to revolve around. He instructs them to make disciples as they are going. In other words, disciple making is to be integrated into the normal rhythms of their daily lives.

At the Pipe and the Pen we believe that "missional communities" are the best context in which to accomplish the disciple making mission Jesus has called all Christians to. Posted below are some links that should help you gain a fuller understanding of what missional communities are, and what they are all about. If you are a member of SOG, there is also a link to the SOG Vision Package.
