Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church by Reggie McNeal
Missional shift 3: From church-based to Kingdom-based leadership
• Bringing church into every domain of the culture
• Church as a catalyst to mobilize all the community
• Missional congregational pastors now pastor the community, not just the church
• Instead of being spiritual leaders in the kingdom of God, partnering with his mission in the world, we have created leaders to run the church.
• Kingdom leaders look for any way they can to gain entrance to people’s lives to “infect” them with God’s love for them, search for opportunities in the routines of people’s lives
• Congregations that are missional learn to celebrate this leadership choice by preparing people for their kingdom assignment and not tying them up with unnecessary club activities.
• Release people for ministry, empowering leaders to pursue their callings and passions
• God doesn’t need us to conduct his mission. We can’t pull off resurrection or life transformation. He has cut us in on the deal! Missional leaders discover what God is doing and then tell others about it.
• Many people in our culture will never be reached with the good news if we rely purely on the current church model for delivery.
