CWM Europe

Shaping missionary congregations

These web pages contain 30 approaches to local mission: 30 approaches to shape and form the missionary congregation.

There are no detached ideas or stories, but different perspectives that can give a local congregation a distinctive “colour.”   It is of course also possible to go for a combination of approaches – one approach does not mean the others have to be excluded.

The purpose of this resource is to give local congregations something to explore. The models are based in everyday practice and are attractive in practice.
