Tool #8: General Characteristics of Local Mission

Every church is to be a witness, instrument, and sign of God‘s kingdom – but every church does this in a unique way. Each church will respond differently to the missional question, ?How can our congregation embody God‘s character and carry out Christ's work in our particular context?" The types, scale, scope, and style of activities that churches undertake as an expression of local mission will be different. This diversity is part of God's plan for the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:14).  Use the attached document to better understand the underlying qualities that unify all local mission.
