Your Church Is Too Small

Your Church Is Too Small:
Why Unity in Christ’s Mission Is Vital to the Future of the Church

By John H. Armstrong (Zondervan, 2010)

“Mission is not what we do so much as what Jesus Christ is doing in seeking and saving the lost (Luke 19:10) through us. Our part is to discover our unique context and calling within the larger community so that we can be an active part of Christ’s mission. A missional church is powerfully shaped by the incarnation and the Holy Trinity and exists to be Christ’s mission, not simply to support mission(s). A missional church will never be satisfied simply to send people overseas or give sums of money for mission programs.” –John H. Armstrong, from the book
