Church planting 2.0 is fundamentally missional. It spawns new micro-communities of faith exploration by going to the lost, rather than asking them to come to us. We start these micro-communities in pubs, in malls, in theaters, in coffee shops, and other non-traditional locations. In other words, we go where the lost are already gathering.

The Church is made up of wounded healers, offering healing to others who are wounded, in relationship. That is the key: all healing is relational, first to God, then to one another.
