Ten Characteristics of a Church on Mission
Scott Thomas, president of Acts 29, has been blogging over at the Resurgence about the characteristics of a church on mission. Below is what he came up with. The links to his articles will follow where he provides more description of what he means.
1. A church that is committed to the authoritative, inspired scriptures.
2. Understands the centrality of the Gospel expressed in all areas of a person's life.
3. Gatherings are characterized by God centered worship, preaching of the Gospel, prayer, Lord's Supper, by penitent souls and baptism as a response to the Gospel.
4. It understands it has been sent by God as a missionary in its own culture.
5. Boldly and intentionally promotes the Gospel through making disciples and church planting globally through collaborative expressions of grace and mercy.
