"**They are: a church focused on a single, primary mission which was affirmed by most of the congregation, not just the pastor; a mission that is outside itself and focused on reaching out; and a church that sees its essential task as empowering and equipping its people to carry out the church's mission together.**

So, the church is focused on a single primary mission of self preservation- to promote itself? Too bad. It should be focused on spreading the Gospel of Christ to as many as possible.
