Missional Families

We believe the most irreducible and effective structure for making disciples as the church is a gospel community on mission. We call these Missional Families. These are a committed group of people learning to follow Jesus together. Missional families are small enough for close connections, but big enough to mobilize on mission.

Matthew 28:19 tells us that our mission is to make disciples. It’s in these missional families that disciples are made, pastoral care happens, leaders are developed, followers of Jesus deepen in holiness, and relationship is experienced.

Get Connected with a Missional Family

We practice missional families by doing four things.

Enjoying Life Together

These missional families should be filled with joy, laughter and care as we walk through life together. This is a place for adults and children to come together and enjoy relationship together. We want to reflect the good that is in the family of God and as we enjoy God’s good gifts together, we set the foundation for deeper community.

Eating Food Together

We believe that food is a good gift from God and brings people together. As much as possible, we encourage missional families to gather around tables with food. Food should be simple in order to facilitate relationships and an extended family culture.

Encouraging Gospel Living

Missional families meet twice a month, which gives us opportunities to wrestle with the truths from teaching, love one another, serve our neighbourhoods, and participate in the mission of God. We take our calling for the good of our community seriously. We want to pray for each other and ask God to open doors to share the gospel with words and actions in our places of work, play, and community.

Encouraging Personal Mission

Missional families intentionally look for ways to serve and bring renewal to communities. Gospel-centred renewal begins in the heart. This changed heart leads us to serve others and work for the good of our communities.
