1.a. What is the Church?• ekklesia – c.f. Matt 16:18 – literally an ‘assembly, group
of people’ >> Denotes ‘a people’, a ‘set aside’ group of people.
• The early Church Acts 2:42-47. – Met in homes / the marketplace– Gathered around ‘discipleship’, not ‘discipline’
• The word Church refers to two entities:– The Church (capital ‘C’) – the Church Universal– The churches (small ‘c’) – denominations, congregations,
cell groups…– Which Church do you think God sees as God looks at a
city?
![Page 6: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.a. What is the Church? Cont…• How can you identify ‘the Church’? The marks of
the Church are:– One / Holy / Catholic / Apostolic
• The word ‘Church’ is an English form of the Greek kuriakē, meaning "of the Lord” (The Church is most likely a shortening of kuriakē oikia ‘house of the Lord’) >> denotes ‘a place’ (no longer ‘a people’)
• The Church as a ‘place’ and ‘institution’ only came into being after the conversion of the Roman emperor Constantine in the 4th century.

1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church?
• The missio dei ‘God’s mission’ (please refer to Forster 2008a:71ff. ‘What is Christian Mission?’)
– ‘He sent his Son for this purpose and He sends the Church into the world… for the same purpose’ (van Sanders in Forster 2008:71)
• What was Jesus’ mission? – cf. Lk 4:43, 4:18-19 - The Kingdom of God! – Is 11:6-9, Rev 21:3-5a. God’s eternal shalom a
‘peace that passes all understanding’
![Page 8: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church? Cont…
• The Church’s mission is to fulfill Jesus’ mission! – ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I
send you’ Jn 20:21– …to “proclaim the Gospel of Christ for healing and
transformation”, and to work towards a “Christ healed Africa for the healing of the nations”.
• Where we miss the boat…– Saviour AND Lord (salvation AND discipleship) cf.
Matt 28:19-20
![Page 9: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church? Cont…
• Ask yourself a few questions:– What constitutes most of the activity and preaching
in your Church? – Does your Church do the same kind of things that
Jesus did?
![Page 10: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church? Cont…
– Do you find the kind of people that Jesus welcomed in your Church (i.e., people on the margins of society)?
– When you listen to the people in your Church, or your minister’s sermons, do they sound like the kind of things that Jesus would say?
– Is your Church actively establishing God’s Kingdom in your community?
– Are we ‘One’, ‘Holy’, ‘Catholic’, and ‘Apostolic’?

Our church… Our world…
Music Poverty

1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church? Cont…
I believe that Jesus Christ started the New Testament Church… He started it as a community of men and women with a mission, a new purpose for their lives. He gathered them, invested in them, and then commissioned them to go and live what he had lived among them.
![Page 13: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1.b. What is God’s mission and purpose for the Church? Cont…
If we think of the Church as a celebration service that only happens in a building on Sundays, then Jesus doesn’t fit the model. We certainly won’t be able to call him ‘Pastor Jesus’…. If the Church is more dynamic than that; if indeed living like Jesus is how we should be and do Church, then thinking of Jesus and his band of followers as a Church community helps us have a more dynamic concept of what Church is all about.
Floyd McClung in reference to his book ‘You see bones, I see an army: Changing the way we do Church’ (2008, Struik Christian publishers: Cape Town).

The changing landscape of Christianity and ‘the Church’…
![Page 15: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bullhorn…

Revolution or evolution?
Is the Church dying or just changing?-
Dr Dion Forsterhttp://www.dionforster.com
![Page 17: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Recap on the Church…
• The Church is not just an institution – rather, it is a gathering of faithful disciples.• The Church refers to:
– The Church Universal– The churches / denominations / congregations
• The character, or marks of the Church are:– One– Holy– Catholic– Apostolic
• The Church has a mission:– God’s mission – missio dei– Jesus mission – to establish God’s Kingdom– We need to relate to Jesus as Saviour AND Lord
![Page 18: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The question is….
‘Is the Church dying… or is the Christian faith merely changing?’
• How well is your Church doing in achieving God’s mission?• What are some of the struggles / difficulties / problems
that we face as the Church?• What are we getting wrong? Were do we miss the point?• How could your discipleship help to change this situation?• What can you learn and gain from your time here at ALICT
in order to renew the mission of the Church?
![Page 19: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. A few facts about Church membership and attendance.
a. The two most common narratives for the modern Church are decline or split… (blog post on the mainline Church from the Archbishop of Canterbury).
b. I don’t mind Jesus, but I don’t trust his wife [bride]… (comment by a skeptical friend).
c. I no longer go to Church… It just doesn’t seem to meet my needs anymore. The pastor knows nothing about my life and work, and the Church seems to do so little to actually change society. I’m tired of programs and courses. I need something different! I still serve the Lord, but I now belong to a Christian group at work (a Christian who no longer attends Church).
d. 60% of all Churches in America will die out by 2050 (Peter Brierley in Gibbs & Coffey 2005:20)
e. The long and the short of it is… Jesus needs new PR!

2. How secular people feel about ‘the Church’
![Page 21: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
George Barna The major changes in spiritual practice over the past
half century have been largely window dressing. Pick a trend – mega churches, seeker churches, satellite campuses, vacation Bible school, children’s church, affinity group ministries (e.g., ministries for singles, women, men young marrieds) contemporary worship music, big screen projection systems, EFT giving, cell groups, downloadable sermons, sermon outlines in bulletins, Alpha groups. Al of the above have simply been attempts to rely on marketing strategies to perform the same activities in different ways or places, or with particular segments of the aggregate population.
![Page 22: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A decline in Church attendance
Church attendance in Britain is declining so fast that the number of regular churchgoers will be fewer than those attending mosques within a generation…. Ruth Gledhill’s report on Church attendance in the UK (2008).
![Page 23: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reasons for decline in membership and attendance
• Martin Wellings• A ‘Spiritual’ understanding (when the ‘heart
grows cold’)• A cultural understanding (related particularly
to secularization)
• Pragmatic reasons for Church decline• No new members joining• Existing members leaving the Church
![Page 24: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Church attendance by age
![Page 25: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Church attendance by age (under 15)
![Page 26: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What are some of the effects of Church decline?
a. A diminished capacity to transform society and influence change (we’re loosing our saltiness, and dimming our light)
b. A loss of credibility (we’re loosing our ‘voice’ – in England, Australia and most of Europe the Church’s narrative has almost no place in mainstream society)
c. Diminishing financial resources to fund missiond. The declining Church adopts a ‘lager’ mentality
(defensive of it’s position, combative of other positive contributions from secular or other religious institutions etc.)
![Page 27: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
THE CHURCH IS IN A GENERAL DECLINE (BUT, THE SAME CAN NOT BE SAID OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH!)

Enough about the rest of the world… What about South Africa?
![Page 28: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
% Christians in SA: 1911-2001
![Page 29: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
YET, the reality in South Africa does NOT reflect the Kingdom of God!
• Only12% - committed… attendance is only about 3% - 5%... Let’s be honest, most Churches plan to fail….
![Page 30: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Something is wrong with this picture!
• 79% say they’re Christian, but somehow the churches are not helping them to BE Church…
• All is NOT lost! If they SAY that they are Christian, we should help them to become what they say they are!
• The Gospel, and the Christ of the Gospel, have NOT lost their power!
• BUT, we need a ‘new kind’ of Church to do this… Our current models are not working… Here’s some data on our decline.

What makes the AIC and American style ‘Independent’ Churches so popular?
• They are evangelical (even if their gospel is not entirely good news).
• They offer hope (particularly in addressing the most serious FELT needs of people):– Prosperity doctrine offers hope in poverty– Healing miracles and ministry offer hope in sickness– Contextually African (in AIC’s)
• They have a strong entrepreneurial leadership… (see the sigmoid curve) whereas we face significant pressure to maintain our ‘culture’ (e.g., uniforms, orders of service, hierarchies)
• They are ‘market oriented’ (changing in accordance with needs and pressures from outside), we are internally regulated (not responding to outside pressures and needs).
![Page 35: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
So, what’s the point!?
• Addressing FELT needs• Meeting people within THEIR context• Offering (some) solution

What’s wrong with our method?• We can be sure that it is NOT the Gospel that has lost
its effectiveness (the MESSAGE, and PERSON of Christ remain valid and effective)
• However, we can be sure that the delivery, engagement, and support mechanisms have lost their impact.
• So what we need is to find a way of engaging the world in an ‘incarnational’ manner (addressing the needs of the world, from the perspective of the world), not in a transcendent manner (pressing the concerns and needs of the Church onto the world).
• We need a new ‘narrative’ for the Gospel. The existing still has value, but only for those ‘in the system’ (it would seem), we need a narrative that engages those outside of the system..

3. So, how do we turn this around?
• Face the facts! Denial will not serve the cause of God’s mission.
• Do our best to understand God’s mission for OUR context.
• Gain insights and expertise to help us in retooling the DNA of the Church for the churches.
• Have the COURAGE to make some changes (for the sake of the Gospel!)
• Make the most of your time here…

Jesus’ methodology (Luke 10:2-9).
• When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.’
• ….Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you,
• …Heal the sick who are there and
• …tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.’
Remember this!?

Preaching the truth without love is like giving someone a good kiss when you have bad breath. No matter how good your kiss is, all the recipient will remember is your bad breath!

3. So, how do we turn this around?
We must change from:• Living in the past to engaging with the present• Market driven to mission-oriented• Bureaucratic hierarchies to apostolic networks• Schooling ‘professionals’ to mentoring servant leaders• Following celebrities to encountering saints• Dead orthodoxy to living faith (orthopraxy)• Attracting the crowd to seeking the lost• Belonging to believing• Generic congregations to incarnational communities.• NB!

and Reimagining Church by Frank Viola

Some differences between established and emergent Church movements
Mainline / Established Church Emergent
Centralised leadership / Professional clergy (separation between clergy and laity)
Organic, egalitarian governance. No separation between laity and clergy
Limits certain functions to ordained / sadly renders laity largely passive (pew warmers)
Makes all members functioning Priests
Has a ‘go to Church’ perspective Has a ‘be Church’ perspective
Prioritizes programs (frequently to educate members on efficiently and effectively maintaining the status quo)
Prioritizes relationships within the community (both within the Christian community and incarnating those values into the broader community)
Depends on tithing and planned giving / requires large budgets (mostly spend on buildings and pastoral staff)
Requires less funding, is frequently self supporting (either bi-vocational or marketplace ministry driven)
Separates Church (ecclesiology), mission (missiology) and social transformation (corporate Soteriology)
Intertwines ‘belonging’ and mission. Balances personal and corporate Soteriology

What’s happening to the human race?
![Page 97: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
How do we reach them? • Traditional marketing does not work• They program their media so they are off the radar• Your message must appeal to M’s sense of community
and trend: – Belonging/community (facebook, myspace, twitter)
• Media has replaced the playground • They spend less face time with friends and family, but interact
electronically• Appealing to M’s sense of community, making them feel like they
belong– Being part of a trend
• Unlike other generations who had (trends) thrust upon them (like WWII, Viet Nam, 9/11), Y needs to feel that they matter
• They will tell everyone they know, now!
![Page 98: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
How do we send the call to generation Y?
• Traditional outreach programs must be employed– Schools & Universities– Community centers
• Combined with the new media– Mobile devices – cell phone, PDA, etc (Companies like Infreeda)– Using new messaging tactics
• SMS messaging• Voice messaging• Facebook• Twitter• Mixit• QIK
![Page 99: New Paradigms In Ministry And Church Alict August 2009](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102815/554fde5eb4c905264d8b4c9a/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Why Social Networking?• Connect with friends and acquaintances (NB! Remember that
the message is CAUGHT not just TAUGHT – relationships are central to ministry!)
• Establish new relationships…networking • Establish virtual friendships with others that share common
goals, interests, or struggles…create support networks• Share your content and message with a large number of
persons instantly (twitter / facebook / QIK / Youtube)• Show your support/raise money for a specific cause
Get your message out!
