While every church is faced with the temptation of turning inwards, this workshop, in contrast, will explore the key marks of missional churches – those who look up and reach out. Through the early chapters of Acts, we will consider the key dynamics at play in the dynamic mission of the early church and reflect on how these marks can be present in churches today to enable them to be both active and effective in the mission of God.
