"When you look at the conventional church in America and all that it offers, you are left gazing down an old soggy street.  It does not compel you to go further down that street.  More vision statements, more Christian concerts, and more blueprints for bigger auditoriums are not enough. There is something better. There has to be. Jesus did not raise from the dead so that we can have better church bulletins and more comfortable pews." Neil Cole

"[T]he idea of the invisible Church, in its popular use, derives its main attraction, unless I am much mistaken, from the fact that each of us can determine its membership as he will.  It is our ideal Church, containing the people whom we, in our present stage of spiritual development, would regard as fit members.  And obviously the Church so regarded is a mere appendage to our own spirituality." Lesslie Newbigin

"A church is Great Commission healthy when it has a balanced ministry that includes winning lost people to Jesus, building new converts in the faith, equipping mature believers to do the work of the ministry, and multiplying leaders to expand the work." Dann Spader
