About

About This Site. The Missional Church Network website exists to provide resources and encouragement to those who desire to see the church recapture its missionary nature and once again be sent into the world to participate in God's mission. 

About Brad. I have an undergraduate degree in health care admin from Wichita State, a Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, and a Doctorate of Ministry degree in the area of missional ecclesiology. My doctoral thesis was on assisting existing congregations in transitioning in a missional direction. 

I have been involved in church planting for over thirteen years and am currently a church planting strategist for a network of churches in Kansas City, where I recruit, train and coach church planters. I am co-founder of KC SENTral, a missional training center located in Kansas City and the Sentralized Gathering, a missional conference conducted annually in KC. I am co-author of Missional Essentials a 12 week group curriculum that will be out in summer of 2012 and The Missional Quest a book with IVP which will be released in 2013.

Additionally, I enjoy working with existing congregations that desire to more deeply engage God’s mission in a local context. I have taught college level courses for more than ten years, including History of Christianity, Religion in America, Life of Paul, Discipleship and Evangelism and a course on Worship. I am married to Mischele and we have two boys, Joshua and Caleb.
