Missional Church Center

The Missional Church Center (MCC) recognizes that God is already at work through the Holy Spirit to empower churches around the world to participate in Jesus’ mission to offer abundant life. The center’s desire is to build the capacity of these churches by providing them a way to link their faith and unique contextual understanding to the seminary’s biblical, theological, and practical expertise.

Our logo embodies this commitment:

• The Missional Church at the center, recognizing that as the people of God we begin with Jesus’ mission of sharing abundant life (John 10:10).
• The circle represents the globe, showing that we are sent to everyone (Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:9-20, Luke 24:36-53, John 20:19-31, and Acts 1:1-11).
• The lines that make up the globe are stylized flames that also serve as arrows, showing that we do not believe that we carry God with us as we go in mission, but that we believe the Holy Spirit is already at work in “every nation, tribe, people and language” (Rev 7:9), and that we are simply there to strengthen the witness of all of God’s people i all the directions they are offering it.

The MCC is proud to support churches with a large library of materials that bring together the best scholarship on missiology, evangelism, leadership, and administration. These have been written and edited by some of the most forward-thinking missiologists of the past half-century who dedicated their work to making the best scholarship accessible and usable by local churches.

Most of this library is available through the Garrett Collective. These include:

• Bible Studies
• Spiritual discipline guides
• Congregational training manuals
• Administrative handbooks
