Description
JR Woodward, author of Creating a Missional Culture, and Dan White Jr., author of Subterranean, have trained church planters all over North America on how to create movemental churches rooted in the neighborhood. In this interactive field manual filled with visuals and discussion questions, they help you and your team gain eight key competencies crucial for planting missional and incarnational churches.
Disciples that make disciples are the engine that drives the church as movement, and this book effectively teaches how to start and sustain the difficult grassroots work of starting a church movement.
Advance Praise
—Tim Soerens, cofounder and director, Parish Collective, coauthor of The New Parish
"A church building or sign is no indicator that the community of God is truly present as a transforming force in any particular place. This book pushes us to see the church as it was meant to be biblically and as it needs to be today in order to advance the kingdom of God. Missional, incarnational movement and discipleship cannot be optional ideas for the church but must be core essentials so that the justice and truth of God is experienced in a broken world."
—Efrem Smith, president and CEO, World Impact, author of The Hip Hop Church and The Post-Black and Post-White Church

Since I was part of a church plant start in Southeast Missouri, I found this book to be very practical and helpful to me as I possibly will consider doing another church plant. I definitely will be using the resources from this great insight in my next stage of ministry and especially with church planting. These guys know their stuff and have a great voice into our culture today. I don't want to hear from experts, I want to hear from people who have done what they have talked about and these two guys know their stuff. Great job of reaching into church planting stuff.

Two authors who are practicing what they preach. This book was full, full of practical examples. I learned new ideas about how to be a better neighbor and a more active church member. This would make a great book for small group discussion.

Woodward and White provide and enlightening and challenging commentary on the state of the church, as well as a vision for its future. If the words "establishment" or "institution" are unappealing to you, and you favor words like "grassroots" and "community," this book will certainly appeal to you. It offers a vision of how the church is done, and a brighter vision of how church can be done.
