Abstract

This study, using the participatory action research method, has sought to identify the engagement in community service projects for church members in terms of personal development and missional awareness. The participants engaged in practical service for a period of six months. The goal was to discover any change in how they applied their understanding of their calling through service opportunities. One of the lessons that emerged is that the church needs to be nurtured by missional habits. Community engagement is the natural environment of a missionally shaped life, which proved to be an efficient way to leverage and accelerate Christ-likeness.
