Moving From Small Group to Missional Community

November 9, 2021

What happens when you feel God leading you, beyond a weekly meeting with a handful of other Christians, out to make disciples in the most underserved neighborhood in your city?

In this episode, Caesar is joined by author and community builder Terence Schilstra. You’ll hear the exciting story of how his traditional church small group slowly morphed into a missional community. Along with several other Christian families, they’ve become connected to over 30 families in their new neighborhood as they make disciples.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How a “small voice” became a much louder calling from God.
  • What personal challenges they faced to follow God deeper.
  • The problems their small group experienced. (Not everyone loved the change!)
  • The amazing adventure that this community now lives!
