This fourth volume in the "Living Church" series responds to the needs expressed by today's church leaders for community focused ministry. Taking the principles of missional church theorists, ministry practitioner Glynis LaBarre engages local congregations in the Missional Church Learning Experience (MCLE), a model she developed and tested with hundreds of small to mid-sized churches. This "learn by doing" process guides pastors and lay leaders through practical steps, leading to partnerships with their community, addressing local problems. This missional approach succeeds in: Bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ alive in neighborhoodsBuilding disciples for both the community and churchBringing churches together with others in the area to learn from and encourage one anotherLearning Mission, Living Mission brings missional principles to life with stories of actual ministry practice and quotes from participants in the MCLE. This exciting and practical guide encourages transformation not only for church leaders and congregations, but also their communities.
