Abstract

Given the significant cultural shifts taking place in the West and the concurrent decline of most denominations, churches must implement a missional spiritual formation to cultivate an identity bound up in participating with God in his mission in their neighborhood. This report is a grounded theory research project that brings together data from surveys of 329 members of the Christian Community Development Association as well as interviews with 15 CCDA practitioners in Atlanta. The research reveals that missional formation in a liminal age demands an embodied curriculum that brings together immersive experimentation and theological exploration in the context of communitas.
