Missional Discovery Journey:  Transforming Congregations to Bless and Heal the World - 2010-2011

You will find a brochure and registration and covenant forms here.

People may be turned off to the church, but they are not turned off to Jesus.  Church people sometimes get excited by this but fail to understand that people in the nonchurch culture don't associate Jesus with the church.  In their mind, church is a club.  The church was created to be the people of God to join him in his redemptive mission in the world.  The church was never intended to exist for itself."         --Reggie McNeal
