In Missional Renaissance, Reggie McNeal shows the three significant shifts in the church leaders' thinking and behavior that will allow their congregations to chart a course toward becoming truly a missional congregation. To embrace the missional model, church leaders and members must shift, from an internal to an external focus, ending the church as exclusive social club model, from running programs and ministries to developing people as its core activity, from church-based leadership to community-engaged leadership. The book is filled with in-depth discussions of what it means to become a missional congregation and important information on how to make the transition. --From publisher's description.
