I think the focus of church work should be small and local; I think if you gather in a big place — fine — but the work of God doesn’t take place simply when we are gathered but when we are reaching into the lives of others. So, I think “missional” is the key for the future. For me, the church is what happens during the week more than what happens on the weekend; I don’t think the singular point of the church is gathering on Sunday for a sermon; I think it all fits together into a community of faith that embodies the gospel and individuals whose lives flow out of that community — in whatever calling a person has.
