Alan Roxburgh - March 23, 2010
The Missional Leader: Equipping Your Church to Reach a Changing World
Time: 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (Registration 9 a.m.)
Location: Jetter School of Business (formerly Free Enterprise Business Center)


Missional churches are not about a particular program or isolated projects (such as mission trips or youth ministry). At the very heart of a missional church is a gathering of people who are concerned with the bigger purpose of bringing God's word into the larger community outside their walls.

In The Missional Leader, Alan J. Roxburgh gives church and denominational leaders, pastors, and clergy a clear model for leading the change necessary to create and foster a missional church focused outward to spread the message of the Gospel into the surrounding community. The Missional Leader emphasizes principles rather than institutional forms, shows how to move away from "church as usual," and demonstrates what capacities, environments, and mindsets are required to lead a missional church.

An expert in the field of missional leadership, Roxburgh outlines a strategic change model that can be implemented to help transform a congregation and its leaders. He also presents the factors that define the character of an effective missional leader and shows how a pastor and other clergy can lead their congregation to best serve their church and larger community.

This seminar is designed to assist you in learning the skills of leading local churches and denominations into the neighborhoods and communities where your people live and work.
