Pastors
Missio is committed to help you begin a movement of missional/ incarnational communities inside and alongside the normal rhythms of your church. As we shared in the AND book, you can begin to find the balance of the Gathered and Scattered church right now. There are incredible opportunities, but after processing this with thousands of pastors, we recognize that there are also obstacles and unique issues we all face.
Therefore, we've provided five videos to help. The first four are designed to help you cast vision and answer the WHY and WHAT questions you're people will have. Why do we need to do something different and What is an incarnational community? We find that if you can answer these two questions, your people will move forward and you'll avoid a lot of frustration.
In addition to the free resources, we encourage you to join one of our Missio Intensives which are day and a half team-oriented coaching environements designed to help re-orient your church back to its missional calling. To find out more about our next Intensive go the the Store and look for Missio Intensive.
