Description
Public gatherings are essential for fueling movement, yet in our efforts to plant churches, we’ve often overlooked the foundational work that sustains it: discipleship, community, and mission. The Church as Movement equips you to cultivate missional-incarnational communities that embody the organic, multiplying spirit of the early church.
Drawing from their extensive experience training church planters across North America, JR Woodward (Creating a Missional Culture) and Dan White Jr. (Subterranean) outline eight key competencies for building churches deeply rooted in their neighborhoods:
- Movement Intelligence
- Polycentric Leadership
- Being Disciples
- Making Disciples
- Missional Theology
- Ecclesial Architecture
- Community Formation
- Incarnational Practices
Designed for practical engagement, the book includes interactive tools, exercises, and discussion questions—perfect for church planting teams or discipleship groups.
But understanding the why behind missional and incarnational churches isn’t enough. The Church as Movement goes further, providing a practical roadmap for developing disciple-makers—the heartbeat of a movement where everyday believers live out God’s mission in the way of Jesus.
