Recently there’s been a greater interest and passion for making and multiplying disciples — for being the church on mission. But where do you start? If you are you new to Missional Communities – the vision, values, terminology and practices – then this is the track for you. In this session we will ask and answer:
- What are Missional Communities?
- How can we make and multiply disciples in our cities?
- How can we be a family on mission?
- How do we live with gospel intentionality in the places where we dwell, work & play?
- What does it mean to have gospel-centered communities living on mission as the primary organizing structure of the Church?
- How are missional communities different from traditional “small groups”?

The skill-set needed to start, grow, sustain and multiply a movement is quite different than the skill set needed to lead an institution. In this workshop seasoned missional leaders and practitioners will explore the realities of leading a movement, looking at the work of the leader as well as the practical mechanics of a movement, the foundations, principles and practices that need to be considered when leading people to participate in God’s mission more fully, including:
- What are the key opportunities and barriers that come with leading a missional movement?
- How do you sustain a missional posture so that every person lives on mission in community?
- Why the Missional Conversation must change from Missio Dei to Missio Trinitatis
- How do you build a framework that establishes a pathway for making disciples and developing leaders?
3) Leading Broken People on Mission Workshop
Speakers & Practitioners:
Jeff Vanderstelt, Paul Tripp, Steve Timmis
Location: AT&T Center – 1900 University Ave, Austin, TX 78705
What does it look like to lead broken people on mission? This session will explore the freedom of being broken before God and others and how leaders can find the care they need for their own souls. The church is made up of saints, sinners and sufferers to whom we’ve been given the ministry of reconciliation. It is messy, but it is a glorious mess while on mission.
This track will will answer questions like:
- What does it look like to lead people on mission?
- Who are the people we are leading on mission? How do we see them?
- How do broken leaders lead broken leaders?
- How do you move broken people towards mission?
