What is the church really designed to do? This video opens the Missions Engagement training by looking at the church as a sent people rather than a place people attend. It previews the sessions ahead and invites you to listen for where God is already at work around you and your church.
Why does the church exist? This video traces God’s mission through Scripture, from creation to Revelation, and shows how the Father, Son and Spirit send the church. You’ll learn why mission is not an optional add-on but the heartbeat of God, and what it means to shift from “come and see” to “go and be.”
Is missions something your church does, or something that shapes everything your church is? This video compares mission to an operating system and shows how worship, discipleship, community groups, leadership and events can each be built around sending. You’ll leave with a question to test every ministry: Is this aligned with God’s mission?
Ready to move from ideas to practical engagement? This video introduces a framework that maps your church’s involvement across local, regional, intercultural and international contexts, using five roles: connect, pray, give, go and send. Complete a simple assessment and set goals for the next three months.
Why do people care about missions but never take the next step? This video introduces the Missions Engagement Pipeline, with three phases: discernment, discipleship and deployment. You’ll learn how to spot and affirm people God is calling and how to prepare them for sending.
What do missions look like in everyday life? This video walks through the repeatable pattern of entering lostness, sharing the gospel, making disciples, forming churches, developing leaders and sending them out. You’ll see how each ministry activity can move the gospel forward locally and globally.
Sending is only the beginning. This video explains how churches can care for missionaries before, during and after their service through missionary care, strategic partnership and ongoing investment. You’ll learn practical ways your church can hold the rope for the people it sends.
This closing session pulls together foundation, DNA, framework, pathway, task and support into one unified strategy. It ends with encouragement to take one practical step toward building a sending culture in your church.
