Missional Communities
[mish-uh nal kuh-myoo-ni-tees]
adjective-noun
Inner West Church is formed around several ‘Missional Communities’.
Missional Communities are small groups of Christians on mission with God, depending on the Spirit,
showing and sharing the gospel of Jesus in everyday life.
What are we called to be?
Family
The Bible teaches that we have been adopted into God’s family through Jesus. This compels us to love one another as brothers and sisters. We treat each other as children of God in everything — sharing our money, time, resources, needs, hurts, successes. We value knowing each other’s stories, and delight in sharing the family’s strengths and struggles. The best way to be in community is to live life together as God’s family.
Servants
When we were at our lowest, Jesus came to serve us by giving his life for us. This truth frees us up to follow his example by serving the least, the last, and the lost. Living as servants of the King, we give of ourselves, presenting a visible truth to Jesus’ kingdom and the power of the gospel to change lives.
Missionaries
Just as Jesus was sent to reach us, so we are in turn sent to our communities to proclaim the good news of God’s kingdom — the Gospel — fulfilling the commission of Jesus.
Disciples
By living as family, servants and missionaries, we become lifelong followers of Jesus—this is what it means to be disciples. As His disciples, we embrace the gospel, are embodied in a new identity and are empowered to obey his commands. Missional communities offer a rich environment for every disciple to flourish.
Put it in a sentence
My missional community is tight like a family, we’re there for each other in the ups and downs.
Missional community is where we help each other experience God’s love for us.
My missional community gives me the courage to talk about Jesus more openly.
