When helping align churches around a single mission one of the first steps we help a church to take is developing a missional purpose statement. If you ask many different church members why their church exits, you will get many different answers. But the church of Jesus Christ exists for one main purpose, to be His instrument to make disciples locally and globally. One of the most effective ways to align a church is when everyone knows the mission of the church. So not only do we teach on how to develop a missional purpose statement, but we teach how to implement that same statement into every aspect of the life of the church. So, most of our churches repeat their missional purpose statement every Sunday, they also look for creative ways to teach every one of their members why the church exists.
