Missional Churches Program Begins
On April 12, 2008, teams from 13 churches gathered at the First Baptist Church in Essex to begin an 18 month-long process of learning about the Missional Church. Each participating church will work on a project to expand their outreach and become more mission-minded. Money from a Clark Foundation grant which is supporting this program will be provided to participating churches to help them carry out their outreach plan.
Leadership of the April 12th event was provided by the Rev. Glynis LeBarre, Transformation Specialist from National Ministries. Below is a clip of her discussing the transformational impact of the early church.
