Membership versus Missional Churches

What type of Church are we?

Membership Mentality

Entitlement
Maintenance
Inward Focus
Resistance to Change
Tension Under the Surface


Mission Mentality

Outward Focus
Impatience for Traditional Practices
Are We Advancing God’s Kingdom?
Leadership Doesn’t Care About Complaints if God’s Kingdom is Advancing
Flexibility
High Expectations to Serve
High Leadership Expectations
Equip Members not to be a Country Club (Exclusive)


Are we comfortable??

85% of churches in America are at a plateau.

Big difference in just doing Church and being the 1st Century Church.
