Author Rachel Gilmore writes that missional communities are popping up in auto shops, pubs, parks, and tattoo parlors. The pandemic of Covid-19 created virtual missional communities that meet in a Zoom room to talk about parables while eating pizza that they all ordered from a local restaurant. Missional communities are springing up by using the house party app where friends and friends of friends gather to play games and pray for situations they are facing during quarantine.In her book, Expanding the Expedition Reach with Missional Communities, Gilmore discusses three primary reasons churches must take mission communities more seriously and what to do to make more missional communities a reality.Chapters include: What is a Missional Community? Why do we Need Missional Communities? Listen and Discern; Love, Serve & Gather; Disciple and Worship; Mature; and Multiplication.Intended to serve as a companion to The Greatest Expedition (greatestexpedition.com) or a standalone guide, Expanding The Expedition Reach With Missional Communities is a must-read for churches as we sort through the post-pandemic period of Christianity.

Many churches come to a point in their journey where they have to answer questions regarding growth and expansion. This often leads to tiresome building campaigns, heated discussion about missional versus attractional models of ministry, and the like. However, a closer look at the multi-site movement will help answer many of the questions you may have. A multi-site ministry is one church meeting in several locations while sharing a common vision, budget, resources, leadership structure and strategy. Most importantly, the multi-site movement reminds us that we are truly better together and reaches a new generation of church-goers who desire to worship in their home communities. Its exponential growth in recent years reflects today's attempt to offer effective ministry in places our local ministries previously lacked the ability to reach. There are several reasons to consider an expedition into multi-site ministry,. In Multi-Site Ministry: Expanding the Reach, Ken Nash explores the primary reasons why multi-site is both biblical and preferable.

In the Northeast region of the United States, surveys suggest church participation is steadily declining. We contend that a primary reason for this decline is that churches have become insular and exclusive, leading to a failure to meet the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of their communities. The problem raises the question, "How do churches move beyond exclusivity to engage in relevant ministry within their local communities?" Throughout the Bible, God is the initiator of a relationship with humanity. God created Adam and Eve, and set out a redemptive plan to restore them to right relationship when their connection to God was frayed by sin. This is seen with Noah and the Ark, in the land of Ur as God begins a new nation with Abram, and in Bethlehem as God sends Jesus to be the Messiah. After his death and resurrection, Jesus sends his disciples into the world to reveal his Father's love. Throughout human history, this sending (missional) God has sent people into communities participating in God's revelation. There is a contingency of church leaders who argue that the term "missional" is a philosophy of ministry rather than a theological understanding of a sending God. But the church is the body of Christ, the presence of God in local communities, and it has the capacity to bring the full expression of God's mission to a broken world. In light of the fact that the church is God's primary vehicle for carrying God's message of love and hope to a broken world, how do churches reengage their communities? Local churches operating as missional communities are best positioned to make the gospel tangible and to overcome exclusivity. They understand their local contexts and can implement the spiritual gifts of their congregations. The thesis of this dissertation is that local, missional communities are the primary vehicle for reengaging congregations with their communities to make the gospel tangible. Included in this dissertation is a group study guide (Artifact) to be used by groups of twenty to fifty people, to help them function as a missional community. The artifact defines the characteristics of a missional community, equips leaders to identify spiritual gifts within their missional community, and trains the group to understand and minister within their local context.

"While the theory and theology of missional church are important, this book is about practice-a practical guide to MCs written by some of the people who were there at the beginning of their inception and know them inside out. This book, while helpfully summarizing all the theory on Missional Communities, is fundamentally about how to make them work in your church community."--From back cover

Here is the long-awaited volume that provides both the theoretical foundations and practical guidance for developing new monastic and missional communities in contexts that are theologically progressive, racially and economically diverse, and multicultural. This book contains the wisdom and perspectives of people who live and serve in missional, new monastic communities in United Methodist and other mainline traditions, and it describes new forms of theological education that are emerging to resource a new generation of Christian leaders. Heath and Duggins challenge Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and other Christians to reach into their own robust, mainline heritage for resources to develop small, intentional communities that practice a rigorous life of prayer, hospitality, and justice.
