Product Description
This is a book about where MCs came from, how they developed and how your community can begin launching and multiplying Missional Communities, using them to see all sorts of people who don’t know Jesus begin the journey of discipleship.
It is a practical, insiders look, giving you the tools to make MCs come alive in your church. We made sure not to scrimp on anything as it is a 100,000 word book on:
•The theory and theology behind MCs
•The key, driving concepts we learned in the past 20 years as we created and tweaked them
•An incredibly thorough Launch Guide that is a simple (but flexible) process to begin MCs in your church
•A large section devoted to all the nuts and bolts of MC life (teaching, discipling people, worship, kids, growing the MC, multiplying them, teenagers, etc. We literally covered dozens and dozens of topics.)
•Case Studies. We give 4 Case Studies on churches that have used MCs (two established churches, two church plants) in the United States and the results of their efforts
•An appendix with even more information and helpful ideas
When Alan Hirsch read it, he said: “For years I’ve written about what the future of the church might look like. Consider this one of the best books around at actually doing the real thing.”
What we have tried to do is write beyond just the theory and give an incredibly practical book for Christian leaders to use in their local church context. We wanted this to be one of the definitive books on MCs.
We hope you enjoy it.
