I have just finished reading Missional Communities: The Rise of the Post-Congregational Church by author Reggie McNeal. It is very thought provoking to say the least. The premise of this book is that congregational Church at large has unwittingly taught that the Church is a building and not people. As a result most churches run on the strategy of attraction which simply means that they run programs and expect that non-Christians will just want to come. Unfortunatly, as recent data suggests, non-Christians are not coming. In fact they are staying away in droves. Reggie McNeal suggests that Missional Communites are one way to engage those who won’t attend a traditional congregational church. Mr. McNeal shares case studies that give great insight into how some of the Missional Communities are structured. I highly encourage every follower of Jesus to read this book. It just may challenge the way you think about your life. If you are interested in purchasing this book, click the link below.
