Churches often care for their own membership almost exclusively. This 'nurturing' model of the church is the antithesis of the missional church. The missional church seeks to be faithful to the 'sent-ness' of the Gospel. As God sent the Son, so the Son sends his disciples. Faithfulness requires an outward orientation. Using the research of David Bosch, Darrell Guder, and others, this project was an attempt to move Trinity Presbyterian Church of Mercer, Pennsylvania from an inward, nurturing perspective to a posture that cares for the wider world. The project experiments with the development of a missional imagination.
