Congregations becoming "missional" churches are key to the Region's Re-invention process. A missional church is defined as a congregation that intentionally seeks to answer the questions, "What is God up to in our neighborhoods and communities?" and "What is God calling us to do to part of God's mission there?"

Missional churches follow the model of the early church as described in Luke 10 where the followers of Jesus take the initiative to awaken the people beyond the walls of the church to the presence of God already among them. This is done by walking alongside them through acts of hospitality and compassion. It is done by working side by side with them to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their full Kingdom potential as children of the living God. It is to help us escape the prisons of our own making that keep us safely locked in behind the walls of our church buildings and keep those we are called to serve safely out sight, out of earshot and out of reach beyond those walls.

Fourteen CCK congregations throughout Kentucky have signed up to be part of the pilot phase of this stream of the re-invention process. Follow their journey on Facebook at CCK - Surfing the Edge.
