We are told that the future of the church depends on us becoming missional in focus. What exactly is a missional church and what are the implications for church leaders today? What lessons can those on the leading edge of addressing contemporary issues - in church renewal, in finding harmony in our multi-cultural, multi-faith society, seeking social justice in our global village provide for each of us as a faith community.

Workshops

Transforming Mission
The evidence is clear the Christian church, as it is known today, must change or perish. What has happened, and more importantly, what can we do about it? What is a missional church and how do we become one? Transforming Mission Workshops is a guided process that engages and challenges a congregation to begin the journey of becoming a missional church. The Transforming Mission Workshops process engages the participants in learning and discovery their congregations strengths, the spiritual needs of those unfamiliar with church, and how the two can begin to work toward a new and deeper understanding of what it means to be people of faith today. The process takes 18 months to complete and is guided throughout by Paul Nahirney, D.Min. (A leader in Congregation Renewal and Development).
