Sounds to me like evangelical, telling people how to be saved. Reminds me of the Christian rapper Flame.

Christ did not tell his church to remain steady and stagnant, He told them to go into the world and make new disciples. A missional church (I would suppose) would be one which goes out to establish new churches.

From wiki

A missional church intentionally pursues the mission of Jesus for His glory among all peoples by engaging the culture with the gospel.

"Mission is not just a program of the church. It defines the church as God’s sent people. Either we are defined by mission, or we reduce the scope of the gospel and the mandate of the church. Thus our challenge today is to move from church with mission to missional church."

There are at least 23,000 to 30,000 (or more!) different Protestant denominations, sects, or cults, and the number grows with each spiritual deception far too often! A missional church? What about the United Methodist Church, the Assemblies of God, the Pentecostal Holiness Church, the Evangelical Free Church in America, the Evangelical Covenant Church, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the United Church of Christ, the Church of God (Anderson, IN), the Church of the Brethren (Ashland, OH), or why not think of this one: "Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God In Christ, International" (founded 1902), membership statistics not available. Handbook of Denominations in the United States of America, 11th edition, page 328.
Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ Inc. (International), 213 Farrington Ave. SE, Atlanta, GA 30315

God save us all from denominational confusion (delusions) and pentecostal alphabet soup!
