Sharing the Gospel defines us
We have increasingly seen in churches that are growing through conversion that they were active, even aggressive, about servicing and engaging in their community. That activity was part of their DNA. Church membership even felt the ministry impact.
Transformational churches have a different perspective on church membership. More than signing a card and joining a church, membership in a healthy church often equals a commitment to serve both the church and the community.
Christ followers should be part of a community called church that is facing outward. This outward focus moves into the community with a certain passion for “sentness.”
