Missional Church

Ok team, here's what I'd like to do as we move toward meeting together again. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Dave Fitch's definition of missional church (below). Read it through a couple times, sit on it for a day or so, and then respond.

"I define the Missional church as the church mobilized for incarnational (as opposed to attractional) ministry occupying the place of Christ’s humble servant presence in a locale (as opposed to a place of coercion and presumption) whereby we live (visibly) an entire way of life that witnesses to the salvation of God (His Kingdom) birthed in the person and work of Jesus Christ. It is natural, it is concrete, and it is above all local. In this witness, people are invited out of their lostness into a vital relationship with the Triune God and all He is doing to make the world right through Jesus Christ."
