The Partnership for Missional Church is a three-year journey in which clusters of 8 – 12 churches together learn how to form Christian Community around God’s mission in the world. Like sailing, PMC involves skills and habits to help along the journey of Missional discernment.
When Churches complete the PMC journey they have a deeper understanding of how God is sending them into the community. They have built relationships in the community and found ways to connect with God’s mission in those relationships. And, they have captured those learnings in documents that say who they are, how they are being sent and the future they believe God has for them.
