We Are Here Now

Christendom for most of us has passed; some of us who value its blessings grieve, and we should. When we mark our X on the map of the history of Christianity, we mark it Post-Christendom. Partnership for Missional Church: A Journey of Spiritual Discernment outlines a path to record this same X as a time of a New Era of Mission for your local church. This ground-breaking new book introduces:

• A New Era of Mission
• A Cultural and Organizational Model
• Discovering Our Partners
• Experimenting through Plunge Teams
• Visioning for Embodiment
• Eight Missional Patterns
• Learning and Growing
• Mentoring and Sharing

Patrick R. Keifert invites you to a journey filled with learning, growing, discovering, experimenting, visioning, mentoring, and sharing as local churches move from the maintenance of Christendom to innovating missional church in their time and location.
