Missional Communities
I did an 11-part series on my blog called Why I Believe in Mid-Sized Communities. Here are the links to all the entries.
- What’s the Big Deal?
- What Does It Look Like?
- The Early Church
- Oikos in the Bible
- Sociological Matters
- Being the “Right Size”
- Is Structure a Dirty Word?
- Making Disciples
- A Culture of Discipleship
- Our Path to Get There
- Challenges of Transition
BONUS MC POSTS!
As I’ve been working with MCs and learning from others, I’ve found a lot of great stuff on the Internet regarding MCs. As I find new stuff, I’ll post it here for our mutual benefit.

Ben, I just finished devouring your 11 posts. They are wonderful and as a planter in the SW burbs of Chicago they have been extremely helpful and enlightening. I am meeting with some of the people in my community on Thursday. In between now and then I am sending them this link so we can all discuss some of the things you have said. This is not about mimicking a model per se, so much as it is discussing our own visions and showing how we are in many ways already on this path and perhaps firming up our own road. Thank you so much for these insights.
Patrick, I'm glad they were helpful for you. They are condensed thoughts that expand to a lot more detail, so if you're ever in the mood for a longer conversation, contact me and we can talk.
I appreciate the invitation for further discussion. I will be taking you up on that either later this evening or in the morning. Take care.
