Missional Website Links


The Center's staff recommends visiting these websites to expand your awareness and resources for transforming the church toward a missional posture.

These are websites and organizations with whom we are in conversation - from as little as e-mail correspondence (browsing each other's website, conversing about each other's ministry, sharing resources) to as much as working together on research and writing projects.

Come back and visit this page again, for our links will change and expand.

Allelon Leadership Network

www.allelon.org/main.cfm

The Allelon Leadership Network exists to help resource, equip, encourage and offer companionship for missional church pastors and other leaders from a wide array of organizations and denominations dedicated to reaching contemporary culture in North America and the world. Allelon seeks to encourage those who are working in and towards a missional/kingdom paradigm, desiring to live out authentic Christian faith in authentic Christian community.

Gospel and Culture

www.gocn.org

A network in which Christian leaders from a wide array of churches and organizations are working together on the frontier of the missionary encounter of the gospel with North American assumptions, perspectives, preferences, and practices. GOCN holds an annual "consultation," usually in October. GOCN has sponsored the writing of numerous books on Gospel, culture, and church, contained in the "Gospel and Culture Series" published by Erdmans.

Discipleship Formation

www.ekklesiaproject.org

The Ekklesia Project offers discipleship-centered ideas and conversation about the Gospel and Christian life. Resources on matters of ecclesiology (which means "theories of the church"), radical Christianity, and contemporary society. The EP offers an annual conference, normally in the summer.

Post-modern - emerging - church

These are websites with a wide array of resources and opportunity for networking for faithful Christian life, especially within post-modern North American culture.
