Children’s Ministry in a Missional Paradigm: Defining Missional Part 2

The Kid, originally uploaded by Jay from Norway.

This is part of a series, explained in a previous post, to come up with an ethos of children’s ministry in a missional paradigm that can be taken and implemented in a variety of contexts.

I thought it would be beneficial to first take a look at defining missional since that is a word that gets thrown around a lot. In my first post about defining “missional” I used a quote from Alan Hirsch and asked for some feedback.

As I was looking for a different post on Children’s Ministry and Culture blog, I came across this post with another definition of missional. Go ahead and hop on over to read the post and come on back.

• Taking into account Hirsch’s and Keller’s definitions, do you agree?
• What would you add or take away?
• What does ‘missional’ mean to you?
