Ed Stetzer :: Blog :: Missional Churches in Dallas

I had a great day in Dallas. I am sitting in the airport right now hoping to make it out before the storm roles in.

I had the chance to hear Alan Roxburgh in person for the first time. If you are building a missional church bibliography, you will want his resources, including:

The Roxburg Journal

Allelon: A Movement for Missional Leaders

Alan's books at Amazon.com


I was blessed to spend some time with Eric Swanson from Leadership Network after the conference. He co-wrote The Externally Focused Church. Eric is one of the more Christ-like leaders I know in Christian ministry and his book should be required reading for people interested in the missional church.

I also got some one-on-one time with Jeremy Self (who blogs here). Jeremy is planting a church in Austin, a city whose motto is "Keep Austin Weird." Should be interesting.

Finallly, it was good to catch up with Chris Conrad, director of church planting for the Wesleyan Church. I am coaching just a handful of movement leaders and Chris is one of them. They are doing great work in "Wesley world" and have a heart for more missional church planting.

More soon about DTS and their leadership center.
