Church- Primary and Church-Secondary

• Church-primary has become ten to twelve Christians sitting around a table at a restaurant every Sunday afternoon and Friday night
• Church-secondary has become, at maximum, gathering with a Christian assembly 1-2 hours a week
• I rarely give to the local church. I now give to emergent missional churches and missional-priority people who indigenously incarnate culture. Most churches overlook or cannot afford to give to missional-priority people because of the financial limitations created by staff salaries and budgetary priorities. But the greatest barrier to a clear Kingdom vision may be a misunderstanding of what a priority- missional community looks like.
• Granted, most Christian churches have a missional aspect. But when one examines a missional-priority church more closely, one discovers a significant difference between a church that does mission and a missional- priority church. That difference begins at the theological foundation and ultimately finds expression in practices inherent to the broader Kingdom vision .
• Missional-priority means more time with the missing than Christian friends
• Missional-priority means stepping across the borders of the church campus to engage the “missing” on their territory.
• Crossing borders to create safe places for the missing stands as a corrective to the prevailing mentality of the church and its uncanny addiction to centripetal ministries, which attempts to drag seekers into its gig.
