I realize there may still be some confusion at Foothills and other churches using the term about exactly what is meant by “missional.” We have defined it simply in the past as each believer viewing themselves as missionary in their current context, or as seeing themselves as participating in God’s mission to bring the world into relationship with him. Filling out these definitions and applying them to our context is what we hope to accomplish in the near future through studying the overarching story of the Bible together and discussing it in community.
Here is a short video that explains how a “missional” view of the church differs from views that have dominated evangelicalism in the recent past. Enjoy.
