Christianity is an adventure of the spirit or it is not Christianity.

Because we believe that somewhere in the nest of paradigms contained in the phrase "missional church" lies nothing less that the future viability of Western Christianity.

The ultimate solution to the problem of spiritual complacency is to create a systematically embedded culture of holy urgency.

In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.

When the church is in mission, it is the true church. The church itself is not only a product of that mission but is obligated and destined to extend it by whatever means possible. The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus. To obstruct this is to block God's purposes in and through his people.

Building community for its own sake is like attending a cancer support group without having cancer.

If we are going to make the change from community to communitas, and not just end up with an unsustainable adrenaline-junkie culture, we must have a sophisticated process to form people into adventurer-disciples.
