The Missional Church

The Missional Church is on the move. Churches around our country are beginning to understand more completely the call that God has given us in our own communities. Here's what this looks like:

The Missional Church from 30,000 feet-
Faith, by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17 NIV

The Missional Church from 10,000 feet-
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself." Matthew 22:39 NIV

The Missional Church on the ground-
"For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'" Matthew 25:42-45 NIV

When a church becomes missional, it merely recognizes that God is calling us to not only reach the lost in foreign lands, but to reach those who are lost, hurting and in need in our own communities. It's easy to get so concerned about those in Haiti or China or Africa and forget about the person living right across the street.

That's why every month, City on a Hill Church hosts Second Saturday! by going out into the community to show God's love in practical ways. We want our community to know that God loves them and that we, as the Body of Christ, are here for them. Join us Saturday, May 7 @ 1pm as we distribute marigolds to the homes along Duke Street (behind our church building).
