High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Missional Community or missional communities (also called Clusters, Go Communities, Mid-Sized Communities, Mission Shaped Communities, MSCs) are generally groups of 20 or more people who are united, through Christian community, around a common service and witness to a particular neighborhood or network of relationships. These differ in size and scope from typical Small Groups that are often made up of approximately a dozen people with a focus on internal fellowship and Bible Study. Missional Communities do place a strong value on life together, the group has the expressed intention of seeing those they impact choose to start following Jesus, through this more flexible and locally incarnated expression of the church. The result will often be that the group will grow and ultimately multiply into further Missional Communities. Missional Communities are most often networked within a larger church community (often with many other Missional Communities). These mid-sized communities, led by laity, are “lightweight and low maintenance” and most often meet 3-4 times a month in their missional context.
